Why is it illegal to remove the tag from a mattress before it is purchased?
364382
depends on when title is transferred, whether it is when you get it physically or when the shipper ships it.  Its illegal because it has important information on it that consumers may need to know about the mattress (though i have no clue what the information is)

You know, this is an excellent question. Truly excellent because I have never seen the part about except by the consumer as it pertains to mattress tags. I just went to check my three new mattresses to make sure and you're right it say penalty under law. Do not remove etc. So I am not going to remove it. I am a law abiding Canadian Citizen and I don't want to be arrested and ruin my lily white reputation and career prospects over mattress tags. I just don't see how this can be worth getting a rap sheet. I somehow don't want to be known as a mattress ripper or a vandal or a misfit to society. I have a habit of hanging my arm off the bed at night and it scratches me but even if it cuts me the alternative is too horrid to imagine. I advise you to sew it back on right now and crazy glue it as well for good measure. If it doesn't want to adhere being a laminated tag and all then try varnish or staples or any adhesive you can think of. If that doesn't work then go to the hardware store and look for the stuff that sticks ceramic tiles to concrete floors-that should do it. But if all else fails you can come back to y! answers and ask the knowledgeable folk here for advice. It will cost you 5 points but it's better than going to jail or prison.

OK civilian cops need a reason to pull you over un like what the second person said.  The can stop you because there are numbers on the tag and when the officer ran you plate the more then likely came back as expired, the DMV should have put something in computer for the cops so it would say that you had a temp tag but more then likely it did not make it into the comp and the cop needed to see the numbers on the tag and run those to make sure it was not stolen from another vehicle.  there are also regs on how it should be displayed so if it was done wrong he could have stopped you for that

There is no laws in this area. Yes ID Theft is an issue that is why you are supposed to shred your personal information before placing it into the trash. Once it is curbside or in the dumpster, its open game.

Be careful with that tank.  Whether or not it's illegal, it can cause very expensive damage if it leaks.  The problem is, in most cases, the homeowner doesn't know about the leak until it has already caused considerable damage and the EPA has to be involved in the cleanup.  In NJ, homeowners are required to exhume oil tanks prior to selling a property although it's not illegal to have one yet.

Try to contact the seller. If you bought it from a business, contact the better business bureau. If you bought the item for mote than like 750 dollars, it is considered theft.

It's a skin tag. Visit a friendly dermatologist to have it removed. And for the love of all that is holy, don't pop it...

most certainly, many companies have parking with tags on it means reseerved for certain ppl or you are assing specific parking spots. If my chance if you miss the spot and mistakenly park anywhere else as per the policy or if they have signs in parking lot they can fine you.

By Army regulation, name tapes and service identifiers should be removed from BDU's before resale, disposal, or donation.  It's a general order of some sort, not found in UCMJ.

If code enforcement red-tagged your house, you can't go back in until you make the repairs mentioned on the complaint. \n\n"Red tagged" usually means that some condition on the property or the condition of the structure of your house makes it unsafe to occupy. This could be exposed wiring, structural defects, or so much garbage piled up that it has become a health hazard. The code enforcement officer can tell you what the minimum repairs are needed so you can live in it again.\n\nAs for "getting around the red tag": that's not a wise idea. Depending on where you live, getting caught back inside a red-tagged house can get you a misdemeanor arrest. Do what they tell you and fix your house.

no because its mattress isn't profiled for an everyday use (not ergonomical)! It's generally very thin and soft!

See that "FedEx truck" parked outside your place?  That's them.  See, everytime a pillow is purchased, the Secret Pillow Intelligence Taskforce (or SPIT) is dispatched to the location of the purchaser of said goods to enforce this important code of law.  I would advise against it.

Just saw a news program that disagreed with the claims made by mattress companies.  Try out several mattresses for yourself and decide.  An advertiser's job is to get you to buy a particular product, not necessarily because it's good for you.
