$100 ticket for no front plate??? WTF!!!

[Fyrtruck]

So I was working on my gf's car trying to do some small fixes and get it spruced up for the summer. I left my car parked on a side street outside her apartment. I come back around 5 and there is this ticket in my window for Improper Registration - No front plate. The actual plate is behind my vanity plate so yes its actually there it was just covered.

Anyone had anything like this? Isn't usually just a fix-it ticket? What should I do? theres no ****ing way I'm paying for this bullshit!

[spoonraker]

I would say your best bet is to just show that you are now using a front plate and hope the city attorney lets you off.

i've got 2 fixit tickets for having no front plate at all...first time there was nothing in the front and the second time i had it in my front windsheild but the state p didn't like that either...so now my front plate is zip tied to my front bumper...there was no way in hell i was gonna drill holes into my bumper

it might be a different story tho if your car is registered under one plate and if you another one covering the one your registered with..

I got a $50 + court costs ticket for no front plate 4 years ago, that was after a couple of fix-it tickets. I run a plate now, it just isn't worth the hassle and expense of getting stopped all the time. You will probably have to pay up.:cry:

yeah, i think the front plate law is just a reason to pull someone over and hopefully find something else to put against them...

having no front plate is way better but i'm dealing with having a front plate...

I refuse to re-install the front plate bracket and plate on the Caddy. I couldn't care less if the Subaru has one or not.

STOP BREAKING THE LAW ASSHOLE!

don't pay it and see what happens

[Fyrtruck]

Well heres what I think I'm gonna do:

Put my front plate back on, take a picture of it on.
Put the vanity plate on over the plate, take a picture to show the plate behind the vanity plate.
Tell him I just got done talking with a police officer about having a vanity plate and say the officer said it was ok if the vanity plate could be taken off if asked.

i pulled the "i'm just coming back from a car show" and never had a problem, or that i was at a car show this weekend and just forgot to put it back on.

How do you have a vanity plate and a standard plate registered to the same car?

[Paul_N]

just put it on!

[EvanE]

just put it on!

even tho having the front plate on your car makes you wanna :barf:

[BOORAH]

I got the same ticket a long time ago.
I just went in and talked to the county attorney and told her I was waiting for a new bracket to come in because my old one broke, she dropped it then and there.

[Fyrtruck]

yea well the last couple of times I have gone in to talk to the prosecutor, he has shafted me

[Thunder]

thats because you talked to a guy and bugra talked to a lady.

u are probably thinking one of those customized plates. This is actually a vanity plate, not a real license plate.

[JesterMX6]

you don't have a vanity plate grant.

you have a front plate delete panel.

[Fyrtruck]

I call it a vanity plate

[Sileightyman]

grant, take the ticket, and yourself to the county attorney and tell them you are awaiting brackets to mount the plate, they will drop it, i got a few of these exact same tickets on my talon i never had a front plate on it, got them all dropped...

[Fyrtruck]

thanks bryan I plan to do this tomorrow

[aquase]

[BossRoss]

or just go in and say. well tom cassidy doesnt have a front plate on his car. why should i?

[Fyrtruck]

walked in with a picture of the plate on the car and the ticket. she looked at both and dropped it on the spot. the lady is a hell of alot easier to work with than the douchebag

[JDMonster]

damn i really didnt think this was a problem here....i never have mine on since i got here and i see a lot of cops going the opposite way...the only time i put it on is when i got back to minnesota cuz the cops there do suck ass about front plates

[96eclipse]

I got pulled over about three weeks ago...IN MY GARAGE!!! for no front plate:joe: Two cops get out and act like they are doing a drug bust. The lady cop says "You know why I pulled you over?" I said "You pulled me over?" She replied "Yes I did, you don't have a front license plate!" I point to the wall in my garage where my plate is hanging and say "Oh look at that, there it is!" She and her partner start pouting and she mumbles something as she gets in her car and drives off into the sunset....:woot:

So the plate on the dash is no good? Damn I dont want to block my intercooler! I got a warning this morning!

[Z28]

If it's not a ticket, don't even worry about it.
