Louisiana House committee voted 6 to 5 against a bill to remove the state's annual vehicle inspection sticker requirement. This demonstrates either the corrupt nature of politicians, or just how effective the lobbyists are

Bagley, who is making his third attempt to eliminate the program, said 39 other states have done away with inspection stickers, including "all Republican states," he said. The latest state to eliminate inspection stickers was Texas beginning this year.

The inspection is clearly just a money grab, as most vehicles are less than 15 years old, most "inspection stations" just take the money for the "inspection" and slap a new sticker on. 

Since the fact is, the police are supposed to ticket for anything that is actually unsafe about a vehicle, the inspection stations are not necessary
