Comment on Parking police
Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 3 weeks agous transportation made it a law in 2014 but effective 2018 that all vehicles made after 2018 under 10000 pounds are required to have a backup screen. so any new car made in the reletive past decade will probably have one. laws for cars are not retroactive usually.

Just curious if you’re aware of any laws for cars that ARE/HAVE BEEN retroactive?
Just generically I can’t really think of anything that “could be”, but I’m no mechanic or lawyer. 🤣

off the top of my head, no. but I know for the seatbelt law at least, if a car before the mandatory seatbelt law had optional seatbelts, having the seatbelt became mandatory. Cars that had no seatbelts nor had optional ones are exempt.

Maybe around car alarms?
The after market ones are awful, but car theft in the early 2000s was also way higher (like 2x) than anything we’ve seen since.
