some one told me that they made a law that you get a ticket for $200 if u dont have a license plate in front of ur car? any houstonians know if this is true? my moms car i put a bmw chrom logo in front of her car.. if its true than i guess i have to take it off

 

yes it's true

 

It would depend on the state. There is no such thing in florida.

 

lucky bastard. i know that here in cali it was a fix it ticket. but i heard that its a full ticket now.

 

I got one in March and it was a $10 fix it ticket. I put it on, showed a cop, and off it is again!

dam that sucks, I dont see how they can apply it to people passing through the state who dont live there, it is a state law and i'm pretty sure it wouldn't apply. Therefore their whole arguement about not showing the state would be invalid. And what about all those bages and starts that police sell for hefty donations, they are not allowed to be on plates any more. And 200 dollars, you dont even get a warning first. Thats just fuckin bullshit.

 

Nothing on there about a front plate law. So mine stays off. I hate those plastic covers anyways...they look like shit to me. But that's me.

By the way...one of the Texas state reps who co-authored this bill (John Lindsay of Houston) is a champion of trying to get nuisance laws passed. He'll introduce all these stupid bills that have an impact on about 4 people in the state and then crow about all the work he's doing.

What a putz

 

I have had no license in the front for 2 years now, anniversary was last Sunday

never got one warning, fix it ticket, or ticket in the state of California, and I have been pulled over for other shit and talked with cops because some of them are buddies, some are just MEAN!

 

Ok, guys. I got a ticket this morning. Went into a speed trap at 55 in 35. The cop cut me some slack and wrote 50 in 35. I know I was going faster. Anyway, he asked me "What happened to your front plate? It just fell off, right? Make sure you put it back up. The state is cracking down on the plate." Those cops asked me to show them the back-up camera, the 8" square sub. They like cars ...

 

So are you going to put the front plate back on? I'm contemplating it, but really, really hate the big ass plastic piece of crap fron license plater holder that the dealer sticks on the car.

 

I put it back on this morning the way Acura intended. I couldnt stand it for more than 2 min. It made the car looked stupid. I removed it and put the holder up side down. I used zip ties to secure the holder to the bumper. It still looks messed up but better than before. I know by doing so, my plate is still not legally mounted since the state specifies how low (or high) the front plate has to be. However, I think they will let it fly since most of them wouldnt remember the specification by heart.

Hey Johnny,
Please PM your number to me. My phone broke so I lost all the numbers.

 

In IL. it's a normal moving violation ticket which is $75. I hate that law

 

yea, depends on county/city. Some it's still a fix it ticket, some it's a straight fine

 

I heard it is a straight fine of $200 in TX now. Not so sure about it though.
