well, it is. I know this because I was 'lucky' enough to get a 60$ ticket for it! and, not as you might think for huge fuzzy dice hanging 9 inches down, nope, a little 1" x 1" ornament, that says something cute.
We got pulled over for speeding, when the officer realized we were going only 5 miles over the limit (WOW the lead foot!!) he changed his mind and gave us a ticket for the ornament.
we contested the ticket, as we are not from New York, but from Canada and here there are no such laws, but it failed....
I tried to find a link to this law, it must be in real fine print..........
