Not surprising. Add in the no cushion article posted the other week and it just seems they are going to really tighten the screws. I have noticed more people being pulled over here in the Portland area since the beginning of the year.

BTW, there's talk of no front plate turning into a primary offense that's a moving violation. I might actually put mine back on...

Pretty typical...

When the local or state government need more money the solution is to make criminals out of everyone. Anyone who drives knows it's impossible to not break a driving law with even a single trip.

The Governor wants more of your money is all this is. The same thing with the no front license plate and all the rest of the Safety enforcement crackdowns...

Yah, and they're shooting lasers like pew pew pew.

Radar detectors are mostly useless in Western Washington, we need laser jammers now

There are laser jammers on the market... The jury is out on if they work.

I like Ga laws.

Can't pull over for less than 11 over the limit
Can't use unmarked cars
Can't hide behind stuff

Oregon loves unmarked cars. They park on the side of the road with no running lights at night time. They hide on access roads and on ramps. So sounds like the opposite of Georgia
