Default Liscense plate ticket...

A few months back i got pulled over for no front plate. the cop was a dick so i went to court today to get it taken care of. When i went to the judge he just asked if iput one on and i was like ya...just like that he was like ok dimissed i didnt have to show him anything proving it or anything...didnt have to pay **** but it was a waste of time....are they always that careless about it?

For this particular law, I agree with the police on front plates...if I was a cop I would want people to have 2.. sounds like they just put you through the motions..

well the reason i didnt have it on is cause the guy i bought it from didnt have it and it took my bank ****** 6 months to get my title to me so i couldnt reg it.. its on there now...looks not that great but its one less reason for the cops to harrass me

why?

i mean is it that big of a problem that people dont have the front plates on? I think its straight bull-****.....When the crime rate in houston is climbing greatly, due to certain things that have happend to surrounding states, they would rather **** with some guy in a car with no front plate, than try and stop the violence, drugs, etc.....

I truely dont think they do it for the fact that a plate is not there. They do it for the possibility you are a felon, have a warrent for your arrest out, etc.

I mean look at how Timothy McVeigh got caught. Random stop for license plates.

That is a good point. I got a ticket for it one time and the next day my transmission went out. I had to take a picture with me in it before and after with the zip ties in place and take it up to the court. The judge was suprised I actually went through with it.

The whole license plate deal is just probable cause to pull you over. That is when the cops find drunks, people that are high, guns, etc. If you are clean then you'll get the plate missing ticket. No biggie it does not go on you driving record.

i dont have a front plate on my TA, and i never will, no matter how high the fine get's i dont care. I've gotten like 3 tickets and got all of them dismissed. It's my car and i'm not gonna make it look like crap just cause there is a bullshit law that says i need a front plate when in actuality it doesn't matter at all. Plenty of states dont have that stupid front plate law and i dont see their crimes rates going sky high lol

if u get it dismissed there are no court fees just waste of your time...

someone told me that if u fight it tell the judge u had a custom grille and someone stole it off and you have since gotten a new one...they will usually be cool about it at least in harris county they are...where i live in montgomery county they dont give a **** i talked to a sheriff here about it here and he told me most of them dont pay attetion see if people have them just the DPS..

Same crap here. I got a ticket close to a month ago for not having one on. Showed up in court and showed pics to the judge and he decided to cut the fine in half. I thought the SOB would dismiss it. I ended up paying $65 and got 3 mth probation for this stupid ticket. Newayz it's taken care of and I left the front license plate on. I don't care I love my car but I don't want those SOB to bother me again. Waste my time

Yeah, that is why the vast majority of states dont have to use a front plate.
