First day back in CA and i get a ticket

[M-technik-3]

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:

Used to have a zipped tied plate on Ex's VW front and it was tied up so it wasn't flapping in breeze. Cops never gave me flack about it.

Now I get crap as soon as they see the M red with aftermarket exhaust must be speeding and so on...illegal muffler for a car that is not registered in the friggen state...Mass is like CaliNazi.

Ive lost count how many front plate tickets Ive gotten. Comes with the territory man. My 325 has a front plate, and my ///M3 (which I drive MAYBE every weekend) does not.

We don't even have yearly inspections anymore.

hooray oklahoma. i had to register my current car in oregon, though, so I have a front plate.

If i run without a front oregon plate in oklahoma, think it matters, even though its required in oregon?

from what i hear socal is crazy with this stuff right now. budget crisis means cops go from "law enforcers" to "revenue generators"... looking forward to moving out to nevada ASAP after i get back.

I don't know how many times I've been pulled over just going down the street because of...A my plates somehow didn't match the car B cause I weaved alittle c forgot to use the blinker... and the list goes on ... search of the car and I on my way ... seriously and this is various cars mostly in my truck of all things.

Tell them they can not search your vehicle, if you dont feel they have the right to, then. I learned on my CHP ride along.... any time you are ASKED if they can search your vehicle, say no. If they have probably cause, they will not ASK, they will just DO IT.

That sucks Yan!! I didn't know that the ca. fine is now $25 instead of $10. Now that really sucks!!
You just have to with your ticket signed off and pay. You don't have to see a judge unless your going to fight the infraction.

no bro. i had it signed off today and the cop said i still had to go to court to turn it in. i have a date and everything.

Anyone...Do i wear an orange jump suit when i go in?

Man that sucks..

I've been running a Euro plate in the back since Vintage at the Vineyards (havent cared to take it off; lazy) and I ran open pipes all weekend (dont ask, not by choice)---- Still didnt get a ticket. I might as well have been trying...

Notice how cops suck to those who cant obey simple laws? Dont give them a reason to pull you over, and you wont be pulled over.

r u a cop?

Irrelevant..... but no, Im not a cop.

Every time I've been pulled over for tint and no front plate, (3 times,) the cop simply told me to get it fixed. No fix it tickets or anything. The same cop actually pulled me over twice in 3 days and said he pulled me over to see if I had been drinking, since it was about 3 A.M. and a no front plate is an easy reason to pull someone over.

Watch me get a fix-it-ticket when I drive my car today.
