Police crack down on air fresheners and fuzzy dice

POSTED AT 10:53 AM Wednesday, May 5

Do you have an air freshener or fuzzy dice hanging on your rear-view mirror?

If so, you might spot a police car on your tail.

Calgary police are pulling over drivers who have too much stuff obstructing their view through the front windshield.

Police are looking out for anything on your mirror or dash.

Police say in some cases these items could block your vision when a vehicle or pedestrian is in your path.

The fine is $115.

But police say their main goal is to educate drivers about the hazard and make the road safer for everyone.

Constable Mike O'Connor is with the Calgary Police Service. "If you don't see that person and you continue through a turn, or straight through a crosswalk that person's in, that can be deadly for that pedestrian."

The crackdown runs until Saturday.

I have an Islamic Rosary, you think they would pull that, cause I mean its kinda my warding off evil trinket...and I need that visible man...


What they NEED to get rid of are thos CD's everyone is rocking...I know that some of the are religious, but man do the reflect light...

I agree what CP is doing to make the roads safer, but on the other hand it's a cash cow. Like sure if people have a rat nest of stuff on their dash then fine them. But when people have fuzzy dice or air freshener, that's too unreasonable!:thumbsdow

I have my fuzzy dice hanging from my rear view but if I get a $115 ticket for having dice in my car....yah I'll be fighting that for sure!

[ninjak84]

haha fuck that law
how about a crackdown on all the car theft instead? or is that too much work :rolleyes:

[BigMass]

i have a novel idea. How about letting the driver of the car decide if his view is fine or not. More stupid laws punishing people when they have done nothing to harm or get in the way of anyone else.

catching a theif doesnt make the police any money. Why would they want to do that?

What did the fat chick say to the other fat chick?












Who cares, they're fat!

[max_boost]

LOL I have an air freshner but I don't know how that obstructs my view in anyway? It hangs below the mirror:rofl: Most mid wings from the factory impedes the view more than dices etc.:nut: :rofl:

[Gonthro]

Ha, I don't have a rear view mirror =)

Had to throw that in there...

I've seen too much shit hanging from rear view mirrors. A lot of it does obstruct the driver's view, but jfor the most part, it's just like cracks in the windshield, B.S.

They should be out there fighting the real crime, not cracking down on rear-view-mirror ornaments.
