Post Ticket for no front plate

Dam just left work early and right when i pulled out of the parking garage, bam pulled me over and wrote me up a $71 ticket. I cannot even be mad, the cop was really cool other than the ticket! Oh well I guess i can have a few drinks and forget bout it (at least for a few hours).

Damn, that's an expensive ticket. Can't you have it signed off when you put your front plates back on?

Hey, some of us TL owners are punk as pigs! Man, that's high for a secondary tag, it's less here for the primary tag. My advice as before, buy an extra bracket and break off the tabs and screw them im place of the old tag brackets. When it is brought up, be a playa and act surprised. Uh, I must of lost it at the car wash. Likely, you will get a warning or at least get out of the heavy fine.

And I'm surprised you didn't get a ticket for your car being too low.

So...now, you feel less pain from the ticket, yet you still have to fix it. Thus, the ticket has ended up costing you much more than the $71 original.

Same question here.
What's the law in Colorado.
If it is allowed, I'd take mine off

I got one last month in San Francisco parked at a meter that expired. $25 for the front plate, $25 for expired meter. C'est la vie folks, its the cost of vanity for me and my car.
(heck, my S2k still doesn't have any plates on)

You have to have a front license plate in the state of Colorado. Although, just recently it went to the state government to not require front license plates. The cops are b!tching pretty heavily about it though. The reason it is an issue is because it will save a lot of money to not have to make a front license plate and require drivers to put it on. The cops are pissed about it for obvious reasons. I am not sure when we will get the outcome of this.
