First day back in CA and i get a ticket

[jflip2002]

So lets get this straight......

1) It is illegal to have no front plate in California
2) It is illegal to have a smoked rear plate in California
3) You have no front plate and drive in California
4) You have a smoked rear plate and drive in California

My question is what makes you think the rules don't apply to YOU? If you feel they are lame or not, they are there to be followed, or be prepared to be pulled over.

at least you can get fix it tickets down there. In WA it is a regular ticket. And in my county no front plate is a $216 fine, ask me how I know.

This is why I will never move to CA...screw that noise.

I just got screwed myself, but more hardcore and kinda my fault, but now the cops know my car. My 2002 will be rarely driven, but it's going to stand out like a sore thumb.

I've gotten 7 no front plate tickets, between an offroad truck, a fiberglass front bumper (don't know what I was thinking) on the e36, and a ddm (no provisions for american plate) bumper on the e36. I ziptied one on the offroad truck and got the ticket dropped, all the rest stuck. $115 a pop in NY

Damn... My friend was chillin with his girl in his tinted A4, waiting for some friends in the parking lot of the coffee shop, and a cop rolls in and starts giving him shit for his euro plate and tints. The 5-0 proceeds to pull my friend out of his car, call in 3 other cruisers (and the K-9 unit) to search his car.

protect ya neck... shit's going crazy here in suburbia.

In AL we don't have anything. You can get a rail buggy licenced for the street here. Its awesome.
Certainly no front plate. You can probably get away with not having any plate at all for years.

Come to the south. No emission bull shit. Inspection sticker consists of making sure lights and horns work. That's it. No front plate.

haha Texas requires front license plate and they love to pull over cars for that alot my my drift buddy's in there 240s get pulled over all the time for that,so they just zip tie there plates to the intercooler or what not hahah.i hate pigs.:hitler:

CT is horrendous regarding the front plate/tints/euro plates/etc. at least here in the small towns in Fairfield County. I got a Fix-it ticket for not having my front marker plate attached because it fell off the day before due to the Audi's lack of front plate holder.

I tried to explain that Rome wasn't built in a day and I didn't have the time to reattach it, but it was still sitting in my trunk but he wouldn't have it. Oh well, it really wasn't a big deal but you have to wonder about the bigger fishies they could be frying.

dude my cousin lives in Wethersfield and has a euro plate that reads FOURGAZM or something like that on his A4 and never gets pulled over with his tints and plates. fack its just out luck

Your car is red and they like to pick on red cars :o :p

no crap. and this wasnt the M3. it was my stock e46 with both hands on the steering wheel, and me sitting up right! this sh*t ruined my day

I got popped for the exact same things at Bimmerfest earlier this year. The cop drove by me in the other lane, saw my car, and pulled a U turn in the middle of traffic to give me my tickets.

so what happened? u fix it then go to court and thats it right?
