i'm doing some reading for this speech i have tomorrow and i found this interesting chapter in the florida statutes. does this mean that the apartment complexes around UCF that require students to have a sticker on the front of their car or they'll get towed are breaking the law?

Look at rule 2a, that is how UCF or any apt complex is able to place a sticker on the front windshield.

 

This is a long shot but what about the "next oil change" sticker? I never have one cause I change my own but they could give you a ticket for that?!?!

 

but thats by law, the law doesn't require me to have the apartment's name plastered on my front windshield, the apartment complex does.

 

My thoughts, my first apartment had static cleans that went inside your rear hatch.

Then they switched to stickers on the outside of the car(yeah those got stolen left and right)

Then I bit the bullit and bought a hangtag.
