Got another ticket for not having front plate =(
dammit
not even two weeks ago, I got a ticket for not having the front license plate.
My court date was set for beginning of August, and it was a fix-it ticket that I didn't worry so much about.
Today, I just got pulled over in downtown LA for the same ticket....wow....
I really meant to put it back on sooner, but really I didn't know I could get another ticket for not having the front license plate. Also been really busy with work and all..
Looks like I really gotta put it back on before I go to work tomorrow...
I'm getting pretty tired of being bugged by the cops.
poo. My 8 is not going to look as handsome as before.

I would have thought that by having one ticket for it you would not have gotten a second ticket due to the fact that the court date has not been reached.
Surely the second ticket will be thrown out after you take care of the first one???
Anyway I'm glad we only have to have the rear plate in Georgia.

I must say, iowa is usually pretty good about this. I have been pulled over quite a few times for no front plate but its almost always aroudn the time that the bars let out. I have been told that Its just being used as an excuse to pull me over to check for an OWI. However, usually the cops just start asking about my car and we end up talking for awhile popping the hood and then sending me on my way with a warning. I even had a cop apologise for "pulling my clean car onto the gravel shoulder" Cant wait to pop the hood and have a giant turbo chillin there :-)

I had mine zip tied to the front screen on the R magic front end. Caused the motor to overheat and looked horrible. I will pay a $65 ticket a couple times a year not to have my front plate.

I just shat myself
I wear mine, hate it. But I can't give the cops an excuse to harass me anytime I want to drive somewhere at night. And don't even try putting it up in the window, that pisses them off more.

I beg to differ!
Mine does not even have the holes so It would take me longer than 2 minutes.
Also do not have the bracket so it would take me longer to find/ buy one
Are you sure you are not mistaking those 2 minutes with the time it takes YOU to have sex?

I hear that the main reason they wnat them on is for radar purposes. They shoot the gun at the plate. Gives them a nice flat reflective surface to get a reading off of.

I know a couple people that rubber band it to the bottom of the passange visor. Flip down the visor and the plate shows through the windshield. However, its still not legel. I believe the law states it can only be so high off the ground... atleast here in IA

Im down in Orange County. I got a ticket for no front plate when i got pulled over for my tinted taillights too. The cop is a total ******* though, our area calls him the tuner devil, haha.
But yeah, i took mine off after I went to court and haven't had anything happen since.

Yeah the plate issue stinks. There is not a way to mount that bracket without screwing up the cool look of the front. That was the first thing I took off of my car when I bought it! I had a couple of warnings and then had a CHP got me while speeding (imagine that). He was just so nasty too. Thank God for Traffic school.
