Uso no autorizado de calcomanías de inspección vehicular

Explicación Simple

No puedes quitar ni usar calcomanías de inspección de vehículos sin permiso. Si alguien tiene una calcomanía falsa o no le pertenece, también está cometiendo un delito.

Es como si alguien robara el sticker de tu bicicleta para ponerlo en la suya. No solo es injusto, sino que también está mal.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan le quita la calcomanía de inspección del auto de su vecino, Carlos, porque quiere usarla en su propio coche. Esto es ilegal y Juan podría enfrentarse a problemas legales por hacerlo.

Penalidades

El incumplimiento puede resultar en un delito menor de Clase 1, con posibles multas y consecuencias legales.
