Ticket on HWY 6 !!! So I am cruisen along at 70 mph like a good little boy, when I see a cop on the other side of the road facing south. I am going north. I kept an eye on him and sure as **** he pulls around. I see him doing 100 to catch up with me. He gets up to my drivers side door, then pulls back behind and puts his lights on. I asked him why he pulled me over and he said for window tint. I tell him it is legal but he checks it anyway. It is legal. So he goes back to his car for a couple of hours and finally comes back with a ticket for an obstructed license plate. I knew about the law, but appearently misunderstood it. He was looking for something. Is there anything I can do, or am I S.O.L.!
Thanks Brandon

I don't think you can take deferred for the license plate obstruction. It has to be a moving violation. What you should do is "slightly modify" your license plate frame, then take a picture of it and bring it to court with you and show the judge. 
If it isn't obstructed too bad maybe he'll throw it out.

Sux to hear that man....I got a ticket the other day, in the middle of butt-***-nowhere, 71 in a 60 (truly a BS ticket). and the fine is like $140!!!!! the last ticket I got here in Tx (over 6 years ago) was for 12 mph over and the rates were $90 for 10 mph over and an additional 5$ for each mph after that. WTF happed? why such a HUGE increase? Seems like they're gunning for me.

I was pulled over 2 weeks ago just north of kingwood on 59 (before then new construction zone went up) 2 times on monday...once comming, the other going,..then on tuesday afternoon. Let go all 3 times, but i was only running 71 in a 65 .... I think they were really wanting to mess with me cause that's only 6 over..... but every time they came up to the car, they never even asked for a DL....I think the Eagle Globe and Anchor at the bottom of the back glass saved me from being truly fucked with. Still aggrivates me that they would pull me over when others around me were driving faster.

brandon them a$$ holes always say sh#t like that. just take it off and go to court and play dumb and they will prob dismiss it. but make sure you go up to court earlie and ask about it the lady will tell you what to do that is what they did with my tickets.

The state just raised their part of the "fine" by 30 bucks. Statewide. Doesnt just mean state trooopers. All fines went up 30 bucks. All state laws, e..g.. speeding, DWI, ect ect ect
But hey...its all about safety!

^ $30 is ALOT more income for the state....i know the katy freeway is expensive, but DAMN!
-brandon, im not sure about college station, but you should be able to have it dismissed. sounds like the guy really wanted to pull you over, then needed to come up with a legit reason to prevent himself from getting into too much trouble.

i don't think he has mentioned that he was pulled over in college station. i think most people assume when they hear "6" they think B/CS. going btw CS and Houston is a pain i hear....but i've only done it twice.
