Rental Car Got Me Pulled Over

Rented a car for a quick getaway in the US. On the way to the rural destination, was pulled over because the registration stickers aren’t displayed on the license plate.

The police officer was very understanding when I explained the situation but still had to issue me a warning.

I think it’s beyond wild that a rental company can give off a car that isn’t street legal, and even worse that they put their customers in situations where they interact with law enforcement. I plan on calling them tomorrow morning as my local office is closed and I still have a few days of the rental.

Just wondering if anyone else has been in this situation or can offer any advice.
