People v. Johnson

Defendant was convicted after stipulated bench trial of aggravated driving while license revoked. Vehicle Code prohibits any object, tinted or clear, designed to cover any characters of registration plate. Defendant's motorcycle had plastic cover on its registration plate, and cover was placed over characters of registration plate, and thus officer had legal basis to initiate traffic stop. Based on stipulation recited by defense counsel, evidence was sufficient to prove all elements necessary to establish Defendant was guilty of offense of aggravated driving while license revoked. Remanded for review and recalculation of monetary assessments by written order. (LYTTON and SCHMIDT, concurring.)
