Iowa Senate's license plate bill raises concerns about law enforcement

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : To me, this legislation is doing nothing more than handcuffing the ability of law enforcement to do its job," Kinney told his Senate colleagues before they voted 29-17 along party lines to send the bill to the Iowa House for consideration.
45% : Zumbach said the proposed change still would maintain and keep the front plate, but 'it just has to be inside the vehicle and not necessarily displayed" and drivers cited for a secondary offense by a law enforcement for not having the plate attached to the front of the vehicle would have to have committed some other offense that was the primary reason for the stop.
31% : Senate Minority Leader Zach Wahls, D-Coralville, said it was ironic that Republicans were taking a 'cancel culture" approach to front license plates by taking away a tool that helps law officers do their jobs just one day after they chastised Democrats for not siding with law enforcement during a debate on 'qualified immunity" legislation for peace officers.
