Faculty Lecture: Ohio's Great Front Plate Debate - East Liverpool, OH
April 26 at 6 p.m.
The August 2015 fatal shooting of a motorist by a University of Cincinnati police officer who stopped him for a missing front license plate reignited the Ohio state front license plate debate. Opponents posit reduced fuel economy, aesthetic depreciation and the fact the five surrounding states do not require a front plate; while proponents share a front plate aids law enforcement in identifying automobiles involved in a crime, citizens in helping police track down a vehicle or missing person and allows them to do so from both directions. Do you have an opinion? Join us for a conversation on Ohio’s front license plate law with former Ohio State Highway Patrol Trooper and Kent State Columbiana County faculty member, Lynette Rawlings; followed by questions and answers.
This event is complimentary; refreshments provided.
