First day back in CA and i get a ticket

[netcsk]

TN doesn't require a front plate. Also no inspection of any sort.

We have some real pieces on the road though.

MI - No front plate, no inspection, no emission testing. You should see some of the shit we have driving on the road.

Says me who drives his E30 with SpecE30 exhaust... emissions spewing away.

[mrsleeve]

PA MI AZ and 2-3 more dont require front plates

[PiercedE30]

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

[der affe]

AZ does not require a front plate.....just letting that out there.
and our emissions testing for older cars is tail pipe, not equipment.

so i flew back into CA last night after a whole day of airport runnin around, get out today drive to the gym and see a pig sitting on the other side of the street with his radar. so i drive nice and obey the speed limit. 1 hr and 15 min later im driving back now on his side of the road and come to a stop about 10 yrds from where he is sitting. I stop then go, the jerk gets behind me and flips his lights, pulls me over for having a euro front plate and a smoked rear plate. GAY!!!! I know some of you on here are ani euro plate, but come on. I ask him about all the cars that dont even have holes to mount front plates and he starts giving me some crap about how you can buy frames and crap at NAPA, and that only the italian cars are exempted from having front plates. the pig (and im trying to be nice here) then gives me a fix it ticket! my rant is this...

WHY? WTF so many ppl do it and get away with it, and this guy had to pull me over. what a jerk.

Now i know im in the wrong here b/c i have a european plate in the states, but but but.... ahhh screw it im done venting.

This is just another bad taste of California for me! Why cant they just let me be with my cars?
