I suppose my reason for wanting to take it off is twofold: first, I have always thought that these stickers look goofy (and detract from the aesthetics of a nice camera), and, second, the inspection notification, in our day, would seem rather superfluous or irrelevant, as the camera is thirty-or-so years old (comparatively, evidence of a more recent inspection would seem pertinent).
