The red decal rule is a bad idea

I’m a new(ish) driver, I’m 17 and I got my license September 2024. What’s up with this red decal on license plate law? In my opinion it’s a VERY bad idea. I know it’s for safety but I feel like it would just make people targets for predators and I feel like it causes cops to unfairly target teens when handing out tickets for something they would probably let a more experienced/older driver get away with.

My parents agreed with me and don’t really want me having it on my car but I really have no choice, it’s either the decals or a $100 fine if and when I get pulled over.
