A Kentucky woman hit with a $56 traffic ticket for driving a van cluttered with political stickers, snow globes and other paraphernalia has a clean slate. Lynda Farley was driving home to Edmonton, Ky., from remembrance ceremonies for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in New York City. She was in her “Liberty Van,” a 2004 Nissan Quest. A New Jersey state trooper pulled her over, took issue with a garland of flowers surrounding Farley’s front windshield and issued her a ticket for obstructed views. Farley fought the ticket in vain, but it was finally thrown out after a trial determined that state law required only front windows and windshields to be unobstructed. The judge in the case, however, was no fan of the decked-out vehicle. “Ms. Farley,” Warren County Superior Court Judge Ann Bartlett said, “I wouldn’t want my grandchildren walking behind your car.” — New Jersey Law Journal
