Threadless Van pulled over by police for having stickers on it :(
We got off with a warning this time but I'm sure glad that real crime isn't a problem and Chicago's Finest are hard at work.

The cops do not love the van :/

Is it illegal to put stickers on your car in Chicago?
Khol
Khol on Aug 26 '08 at 4:13pm
That's silly.

Did the cop say what law y'all were breaking? I never would have thought that having your car covered in stickers would be pull-overable.

shirtflirt on Aug 26 '08 at 4:14pm
why would you get a warning for having threadless stickers on a vehicle?

has the whole world gone crazy?

still not sure what law we are breaking.

Did your van get pulled over by the police?

They probably just wanted to get up close and personal with The Van.
I don't blame 'em.

damn.

Is it possible to put some sort of layer on top of it to keep the stickers in? you know like a layer of plastic?

Thats really weird. It doesn't seem like stickers should be breaking any kind of law.. Its not like they're all peeled up and flying off at people.

they might claim the vehicle is too distracting to other drivers

Yes, it was pulled over by the police. At first we thought it might be the feds or even the military or even maybe Flock of Seagulls but it was the police.

Here's a pic of the threadless van before it was brought into custody.

Its not really distracting from a distance though? Its not like cars that have something showy about them, like fake Batmobiles, the Oscar Myer hotdog car, etc aren't distracting.

It is nice that the cops in Chicago don't have to worry about real crimes, though. Around here we don't even have enough cops to come to an accident scene after one car ran a red light!*



*True story.

I just saw the threadless sticker van a few weeks ago! I was walking by the warehouse, without realizing where I was. It was the best.

also, that's too bad :(

you guys had the old van for quite awhile before this one if i remember correctly, and they never bothered you then did they?

that's about the time you pull the,
officer, i'd like your badge number...

we just got a warning. the van is still in our care and daring the cops to step up.
