There are moments when trying to be crafty is not the greatest idea.
Case in point? When trying to pass a crude, hand-drawn vehicular inspection sticker as authentic.
The Montgomery County Sheriff’s office revealed on Facebook a hand-drawn inspection sticker using what appears to be red construction paper — complete with a hole punch over January 2020. For an even more “authentic touch” scribbled are a bunch of lines randomly in an effort to represent a bar code.
“So, we appreciate people who take some initiative, however this will not work as your vehicle inspection sticker, NICE TRY!!” the sheriff’s office post reads.
According to the Times Union, authorities spotted the handmade decal Monday. The Times Union reports the driver was ticketed for having an unregistered motor vehicle and for the inspection sticker itself.
