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. Luckily only got a warning,What is funny is it illegal to mount your GPS in the center of your windshield in Arizona but it is not illegal to text while driving. GPS mounting by state

Yea, illegal anywhere on the windshield in CA too.

Just another day with another Law? Don't you just love it.

They use stuff like that as Probable cause to see what is going on. That is the usual reason the stop you for picayune ship. Then they can get a look at you and see if they see anything suspicious. Arpaio uses the same scenario to stop and look for illegals. If you were Hispanic and had a taillight out his officers where told to stop and make people prove citizenship. actually do a lot of that on I10 in Louisiana, Mississippi etc to look for drugsYou are probably an old white guy so do not fit any profile so it is unusual to you. Now ask how did it feel? How would you feel if it happened frequently?Maybe a little minority understanding will be gained

I guess all those BMW drivers with HUD (Heads Up Display)on their windshields are going to be paying some fines.
