New York State Police discover fake registration sticker made from prescription label

A New York State Police trooper in Western New York discovered a homemade vehicle registration sticker during a traffic stop. The sticker was fashioned from a prescription label for Permethrin 5% cream, a medication used to treat scabies.

The label included medical instructions to massage the cream into the skin from head to toe and leave it on for 8 to 14 hours. The New York State Police shared the incident on social media, noting that while the prescription instructions were clear, they did not include making a registration sticker.
