HOMER, N.Y. — The New York State Police issued a Syracuse man several traffic tickets after troopers determined the driver had a fraudulent inspection sticker on their windshield.
The state police said on Aug. 6, around 11:54 a.m., a trooper pulled over a 2013 Subaru Legacy on Interstate 81 in the Town of Homer for committing traffic violations.
An investigation determined that the Subaru did not have a valid inspection sticker. The police said NYS Department of Motor Vehicle records showed the vehicle’s inspection had expired in 2024. However, the vehicle displayed what appeared to be a valid inspection sticker affixed to the windshield.
The state determined the sticker was fraudulent.
“If your vehicle inspection is expired, putting a fake sticker on your windshield is not legal,” the state police said on Facebook. “Nice try, but we check.”
The police noted that the driver’s license was revoked.
The Subaru was impounded, the police said.
