Well it FINALLY happened Well this morning i was dropping my little sis off at school, and i had the camaro, and for the first time i got pulled over for no front license plate and also for my tinted windows. I go pulled over in LaGrange, and i have driven through this town numerous times and never got pulled over once, and it finally happened. The cop said based on my driving record would depend on what i get. He said if its bad im getting 2 state tickets, if its good im getting 2 local ordinance tickets. So i ended up get 2 local ordinance tickets. Also the cop told me, "If i see you in a week with out a front plate and your tints still im writing you up for state tickets"
So it finally happened, but im just gonna pay the $25 tickets and be done, im not getting my tints removed, i might have to go talk to the eye doctor about my VERY sensitive eyes to light..lol..Also are there any good ideas for front plates? i dont wanna put it on, im thinking i might just put it on my dash by my windshield..Sorry for the post guys, i had to vent

sorry to hear that you got caught.
goingto the eye dr and getting a letter will help with the tints, but the front plate(legally) has to be mounted to the car.

But I think I hold a record, I've been pulled over 17 times, and I never got a ticket!

Outlaws Tip of the Day
Front License plats arent illegal if they are higher then a certian part off the ground. Zip tie it to your Visor, if you get pulled over flip it down so its visible in front. They cant ticket you.

I have Police Memorial plates (a lot like the fireman memorial plates) so that helps a lot. What doesn't help is the plates say "SLOW"
I have my front plate mounted on a scrathched up SLP mounting bracket with a clear cover that's all cracked up. I always have it sitting on the passenger's seat.

they can make you scrape it off in front of them....just get a beater to drive on shitty days and only drive your car on nice days where you can have the windows down

I thought window tint and front license plates were both like a secondary enforcement activity and they have to pull you over for something else before they can get you for that ?
Maybe thats just another one of those cops can't do this and that bs rumors....
