[eggman40]

I just got back from my paint shop and my car is done, but at the moment it does not have a front license plate. I was just wondering just how much people here in so-cal get harrased for it? does it happen often? how much is the fine? I really really dont wanna put one back on but.... i dont wanna be bugged about it either.. thanks guys

Must be great.

A while back I had my license plate literally ripped off my front bumper while I was parked in my work parking lot. I got out of work at midnight and saw it was missing. I found it in the dumpster next to the parking lot.

The next morning... on my way to the hardware store to put it back on I got pulled over and got a $195 ticket. The officer didn't care that I was on my way down there to fix it.

When I took it to court I gave them the hardware store receipt so they can check the time stamp against the time that I got the ticket... plus the time stamp on a picture with the plate back on the car and it didn't do any good. The judge dropped the ticket to $100... So I had to pay for someone else to vandalize my car..
