A quick Google search shows that 28 CFR 29.1 is regulations for the “Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention Act” which allows the attorney general to implement a program where people can put a sticker on their car which means cops can then stop and verify that they’re the vehicle owners.
That doesn’t mean license plates are optional. Normally I just smirk and move on feeling superior, however they rarely cite something as easy to Google as the CFR.
In the 1980s, millions of parents took their children to be fingerprinted in the name of safety just in case they were kidnapped or something. It was very strange. I think that they were really arguing that people should do this so that their childrens’ bodies could be identified.
I remember this - in grade school we had a field trip to the local jail. They showed us around (I remember being freaked out by the toilets and cameras!), told us if we didn’t respect our parents and the cops that we’d end up in jail there, then fingerprinted us all. This was 1985 and I’m sure it required a permission slip but jesus what a weird thing to do to little kids.
Parents didn’t even need to take the kids anywhere. They did that shit to us at school, and then put a little packet together to take home to your parents.
Apparently fingerprints change as you grow so it was probably a dumb idea to begin with. Your fingerprint as a child is different than your fingerprint now.

Lol wait, so it’s actually telling cops to please search this vehicle?
That’s just way too funny.

You are more likely to end up in jail if you disrespect your parents and cops, especially cops.

Yup. I remember the day we all got fingerprinted. I’d say it was '86 or '87 when they did our whole school. I remember thinking it was super cool.
Yeah it was for our safety. I remember doing it.
I’ve had a couple jobs that required it again anyways.
I’d be surprised if most of those kids fingerprint records still even exist. Most of my old school records are long gone.
I believe that they were registered with the FBI.

I just got an idea for the perfect murder. Just need to go back in time, or find a child hitperson.
