Illegal GPS mounting
Was stopped by a Arizona Highway Patrol officer for having my GPS mounted on the middle of the windshield. Was told that it was only allowed on the windshield in the bottom right or left lower corner....

I agree with Pitch. That paragraph seems to talk about how a vehicle is loaded or the number of people packed into the front seat.
You can't ignore the unbolded portion - 'or when there are in the front seat such number of persons' as that goes to the heart of the paragraph.
I don't believe this paragraph has anything to do with a windshield mounted GPS. Not saying the mounting of a GPS isn't addressed in a different section - but it ain't in this one.
I'm not ignoring it, I simply removed it to make him understand that it is different than the number of persons in the front seat... hence the OR.
I have a friend who is a NYPD officer. That charge is used for GPS and has been upheld in court. I really don't care if you or Pitch agree. I know that it is illegal and want to share my knowledge with others to save them a ticket. Personally, my wife is my navigator when we pull the trailer so it doesn't affect me. When I don't have her, I listen to the voice.
Do what you want. I'd rather spend that $60 on 2 nights camping than provide it to the State of New York.
