Where the hell did you fall from? Dude Mike long time no see you goofy turd haha.
So you're an LEO now?
I get lucky, last time I got pulled over, the cop just told me he knew I had a modified exhaust and liked my car since he has a 01 SS and saw my 11 in wide rims and asked what tires I was running and what was done, he took down my phone number and I told him to call if he needed anything done to the car. I am sure glad that I have not had a dick for a cop light me up, I had a CHP PU behind me yesterday on the 210 and he followed me for several miles I got off the freeway he just looked over at me kind of nodded then kept on.

your better off at least setting a court date and then hope the cop does not show up and then if he does worse case scenario you have to pay the ticket
ive myself have dealt with ca traffic court systems a lot, ive been there done that

Cops are "doody heads", you are better off filing a "trial by declaration", you have to pay the fine up front, when you mail in your side of the story, and the policeman has to sit down and write out (most cant write past the ticket lines) his side of the story, WITHOUT GETTING PAID OVERTIME (like when he has to appear in court). This cuts down on his prostitute and drug money for the weekend, and most do not even file. The policeman has 10 days to respond to your well thought out, "did not know it was coming" declaration.
If the judge decides in your favor, your money is returned and the case dismissed, if he finds in the cops favor, you then can go to court.

Heres a good one, I have a friend and back in 70s he owned an el camino. He was driving down the highway and came upon another el camino and they started racing. Well several minutes of that he saw the lights come on in his review mirror and thought he was screwed. The cop came up to his window and says "I just wanted to see who won?" LOL

Although a bit more laxed than Cali, Nevada is a runner up for Bs factors on emissions, etc. A cutout is the holy grail to me 'round here. I do not run a front plate. Nevada DMV regs state about "a car that was not equipped with a front license bracket...blah, blah." I questioned the DMV about this prior to registrstion. They confirmed that I do not need one, told me however to keep the extra plate within the car. I have given many many officers the opportunity to pull me over for no front plate. None have ever bothered me. Anyone have any stories of Nevada? I am at a loss. I really really am begging for a ticket too, I can't drive to a grocery store without acting like I doin auto x

I am stuck here until I retire from the navy in 2013 but my wife loves it here. She wants to buy a place to rent out. I am going to suggest buying a place in AZ to rent out.

I'm from socal and on top of that I lived next to the police station. Almost every time I left my house a cop would follow me for about a mile. Somehow never got pulled over for the front plate. When my car got vandalized, the first thing the cop that took the report asked me was if it had any illegal modifications and made me pop the hood. Lucky for it was stock.
probable cause. try again

http://knowmyrights.org/faq/4th-amen...-of-guilt.html
No officer can search our car without probable cause--unless you are too stupid to say "No, officer. You may not search my car. My 4th ammendment rights protect me in my automobile just as they do my home. If you do not have a warrant, issued by a Judge, and have no probable cause--which I certainly assert you do not have--then any search would be illegal." ---- OK, then he says "Do you have something to hide?" and you reply "Officer, I am protecting my 4th ammendment rights against an unlawful transgression. Please call your duty officer or the sergent on duty to act as a witness who can declare what justifiable probable cause you are claiming in order to search the vehicle of an American citizen who has only been stopped for a minor traffic offense. Do you make warrantless searches of all vehicles stopped for traffic offenses? Or am I being singled out for some profiling reason? If you are not searching all stopped vehicles then that may be an unequal enforcement of the law. Again, I see no probable cause here and refuse to allow a search without a warrant authorizing such a search. A warrant would have to explain what your probable cause is and what it is you are looking for."

I'm glad I got out of LA when I had the chance...
No need for a front plate and no smog in most of the state of AZ. Even where they have a biannual smog inspection you only have to pass a plug in for codes if your OBDII. I "passed" smog just last month.

i have had the ticket three times and in three different cars, never paid $1500 dollars... i dont know where your getting that figure, but its definitely coming out of left field..
