New York State Police find driver using prescription label as fake registration sticker
The New York State Police reported a unique incident during a traffic stop in Western New York, where a driver was found using a homemade vehicle registration sticker.
The makeshift sticker was fashioned from a prescription label for Permethrin 5% cream, a medication used to treat scabies. The label included medical instructions to apply the cream from head to toe and leave it on for 8 to 14 hours.
State Police shared the discovery on social media, noting the absurdity of the attempt. It has not been confirmed if the driver faced additional charges beyond the initial stop.
