Where are you located? The "down here" comment makes me curious with your location being IL. Just how far south are you?

Illinois law only states that is has to be visible from the front of the vehicle for a couple hundred feet. So there should be nothing illegal about my mount.

I checked the laws before mounting it up there ;)

they do have to be on the outside of the vehicle and can't have anything obstructing their view (I.E. windshields.....and even clear license plate covers are illegal)
