As a retired State Trooper I will respond: As long as it is within the
limits of your state's regulations, no police officer will ticket for that
alone. If it is outside the regulations of your home state or you have
changed registration states and failed to remove the stickers then you would
be liable. This person is wanting to put a fairly large device on the
windshield that will block a fair amount of visibility to the right front of
the vehicle.
Many states have regulatory locations for various registration and
inspection stickers. Many people feel that they can put those stickers
anywhere on the vehicle that they feel like putting them. When I was a
police officer, many times I would find validation stickers (those with
expiration dates) for vehicle registration in the wrong location. Now, if I
wanted to, I could have ticketed the person for not having the sticker in
the proper location. Most times I didn't but if the person protested too
much, I would have them explain it to the judge. I would normally warn the
person to have the sticker moved or replaced to the proper location.
