Reply to comment by Fievelbud in Does the local police/sheriff enforce bumper height on jacked up trucks? by LeeOblivious

One is a safety issue the other is not. I'd expect them to prioritize getting unsafe vehicles off the road before revenue infractions.

High bumpers do disproportionately more damage and cause more severe injuries than standard height ones. Studies were done, tests were made, and measurements taken. Regulations were set off of the results of these. And are in fact a bit higher than what was recommended.
