******** It's JUST a Camaro! - Story time by Blackfly ********
Grab some coffee and a doughnut - this is a bit long but entertaining.
First off let me say I have alot of respect for LEO's. Their job is stressful and very dangerous. Most Officers are retired military so I would willingly give those guys my last supper- and smile.
I meanNOT to bash LEO's on this post, just sharing an experience that left me a bit... well.. asking... WTF was up with THAT! - just weird.
So I'm driving down the highway heading west in my 2011 SS, about 10 pm -ish, at posted speed of 60 (I was around 63mph) when I see a state trooper pull onto the highway from the side emergency lane.
My state of mind at the time was relaxed, I had just left the Medical center and the wife and kids are tired/sleepy. I'm not worried about the Trooper one bit. I have a clean record and there was no reason he would be pulling me over.
Then, from my passenger side mirrors, I see this car hauling *** going about 75-80 MPH. The driver starts to blow past me AND the Trooper (the cop was Two lanes over about 1/2 car length behind me) but he breaks hard right next to the cop. ( he obviously did not see the trooper until he was right on him)
My wife and I are saying "Damn! he's going to get sooo busted" but the cop does'nt even react. So, about 15 seconds pass and then the cop hauls *** forward then breaks hard to slow down and cuts across two lanes behind me and hits his lights.
Uh... WTF? I have no warrants and I just saw a guy getting stupid on the highway RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE COP.
So I remain calm. I'm not worried on bit, whatever it is, it's minor.
So when I stopped, I did my usual routine - Roll the windows down put both hands on the wheel and sit still. no sudden movements.
Officer: Any reason you don't have your front license plate? (he called it something else but I knew what he was asking about)
Me (respectfully): Uhm, well, I have not had the opportunity to put it on.
Officer: Well I don't see why not, I can understand if it were a Corvette or Ferrari, but it's JUST a Camaro.
Uhhhhhhhh. Whuuuuuut? LOL @ Officer
are you kidding. LMAO?! WOW! (I was floored)
I could not help but laugh but hold it in as much as I could. I looked over to my wife and she was smirking and was as dumbfounded as I was.
Officer: Drivers license and insurance please. You understand it's against the law to not have a front license plate?
Me: Yes sir.
Officer: Why have you not put it on?
Me: Well... (cut me off)
Officer: Do you still live at the current address?
Me: No. we ju... (cut me off)
Officer: Why have you not updated it on your drivers license?
Me: We just moved, I have not updated my drivers licence but everything else has been.
Officer: How long ago did you move?
Me: September
Officer: Wait here. (He went to his patrol car)
I turned to my wife: Wow! He must drive a mustang and is tired of loosing
(he comes back...)
Officer: Im going to write you a warning. If you tell me you are not going to put your front plate on I'm going to write you a citation.
Me: Well, (wincing) I don't want to lie to you officer, but I will do what I can.
Officer: If you tell me NO, I'm going to write you a citation.
My wife whispers... *say yes, say yes!*
Me: Uh... (holding back) yes?
We get back on 290 and about a minute later I see police lights come on (about 10 cars back)
to wife: oop! he got someone else!
He ends up not pulling anyone over, Just blowes by me probably 80-90ish Alllll the way down the highway
THE END

Hey I was driving back to SA from Fredericksburg and I passed a Super Trooper that was going North 87. He turned around and pulled me over for no plate.
I looked shocked and told him he must have missed it. Little did he know I used the retractable plate while he was walking up to the car. He said really, I must have missed it? I said it is on the lower right of the front bumper. He went and checked it out and said he was sorry, he had missed it…
******* with these guys is a blast dude. You need to get retractable plate.

I would imagine that the worst that they could do in the instance that they DID actually figure out that it's a motorized piece would just be to write you the no front plate ticket. They can only write tickets based upon what's written in the books as motor vehicle violations
