For some reason this reminded me of an incident at work. We were required to display an approximately 4"x6" parking pass on the dashboard. When we acquired a 2nd car I attempted to obtain a 2nd pass, just in case. That request was refused, which wasn’t too illogical.
But the ‘pass’ was very simple and black & white. Like many other folks, I simply photocopied it, trimmed to size, and placed the copy in car #2. It passed muster for months.
Then I heard from another employee that his brother was ticketed for displaying a photocopy on his dash. This alarmed me until I got more details. I asked: “How thoroughly did they check?”
“Oh, they saw right away,” came the reply. Seems Poindexter was too lazy to even trim the paper. He had put the full 8" x 11" paper copy on the dash.
