Vehicle registered in two (2) names
All registered owner/lessees of a vehicle that participates in the Utah Watch

Decals
The Watch Your Car decals are made of a heavy-duty reflective material that is
easily seen at night. According to instructions provided, the front decal is to be
placed along the top edge of the windshield in an area not to exceed three inches
to right or left of center, and is not to extend downward more than four inches
from the top edge. This decal contains information and notification that it is a
federal offense to remove the decal without the owner's permission. The rear decal
is round and is to be placed on the vehicle's back window, driver's side at the
lower (left) corner. This decal serves as a beacon to law enforcement officers that
the vehicle is registered in the Watch Your Car program. The Watch Your Car
decals must be placed in the areas described above. If you have any questions
as to the decals placement please contact your local law enforcement agency.
