To his credit, the newspaper clipping does look like a Massachusetts inspection sticker at a quick glance, at least, one from 2010 since the state changes the color each year.

According to the police log, the man was arrested for the bogus inspection sticker as well as a suspended license and failure to dim his headlights. Additionally, a Twitter user correctly pointed out he would have only received a $50 citation for not having an inspection sticker.

Karma’s a bitch folks.
