Cop digs for a way to give a ticket to justify pulling a man over. To cover his corruption it's wild what he gave a citation for. ​We are in Wall Township, New Jersey, where a driver Alex Harbour is pulled over by a Wall Township police officer. The reason? The officer claims Harbour failed to use his turn signal when making a turn. But things quickly escalate when the officer tacks on a second violation: New Jersey Title 39:3-74, a statute regarding windshield obstructions—all because of a standard little tree-shaped air freshener hanging from the rearview mirror. ​Harbour immediately disputes the claim, stating he knew the officer was following him after making a U-turn near a grocery store, and purposely used his blinker because of it. Believing the stop is an unlawful, racially motivated pretextual stop, Harbour repeatedly asks for a supervisor to come to the scene. ​When the supervising sergeant arrives, he attempts to smooth things over, claiming officers were simply routing through the neighborhood to get to local schools for traffic monitoring. Harbour asks the supervisor to pull the officer’s dashcam footage right there to prove his turn signal was active. While the supervisor explains they can’t review the footage on the side of the road, he notes it will be preserved in the system. ​Since the officers knew their backs were against the wall as the narrative fell apart for the original reason for the stop, the officers decide not to write a ticket for the moving violation (the turn signal). Instead unbelievably, they hand him a non-moving citation strictly for the windshield obstruction caused by the air freshener and let him go. ​While in my opinion this is beyond pretty and an absolute reach to justify the stop. What many drivers don’t realize is that hanging anything from your rearview mirror—whether it’s a graduation tassel, a parking pass, or a Little Tree air freshener—is technically illegal in more than half of U.S. states under "obstruction of view" laws. Civil rights groups and legal experts frequently point out these highly specific, minor statutes because they give law enforcement broad legal authority to initiate a traffic stop on almost any vehicle, at any time, to investigate further. ​Knowing this info now, I will never hang anything from my mirror again. To think of how readily available these are in stores. They seem so harmless, but we are literally giving officers that want to push, a way to stop you in your tracks.
