Ms. K had recently moved to Arizona from California, and had purchased a new car. She had the temporary license plate taped on the window instead of mounted on her bumper. She was pulled over and cited for Failure to Display a License Plate under Arizona Revised Statute ARS 28-2354(A)(1). The Officer also cited her for No License in Possession under Arizona Revised Statute ARS 28-3169(A), and for No Registration in Possession per Arizona Revised Statute ARS 28-2158C. She had both of these documents and she had asked the Officer for a moment so she could find them. The Officer rudely responded “Tell that to the Judge”. When we explained what this Salt River Police Department Officer had done, the Prosecutor dismissed all charges.
