The Free Press article discusses the law that bans objects from hanging on the review mirror. This law is not enforced well, and most objects are not causing accidents. Therefore, they are reconsidering adjusting the law to allow people to hang small objects such as graduation tassels. I believe that the best quote is, "I call it a 'gotcha' law. It's an excuse to pull someone over." This seems like a clever name for the law. The quote basically sums up the law because most of the "illegal" objects aren't causing any harm, yet the law provides an excuse for police officers to stack up more charges against people.
Overall, I feel like it is unnecessary to ban all items from the rearview mirrors since most of them will not block the driver's view. However, it is reasonable to have certain restrictions to the size of the hanging objects.
