Concillian,
Your point is well taken, but at the same time WTF are the CHP doing patrolling a public parking lot? I have worked for a branch DLE in the past and I have nothing but respect for most officers but I feel that this is a bit much. That's all I'm saying...
To all others besides, Concillian, thanks for the love, even if no-one seems to wave back on the roads it's good to see we got's love in the i-club!!
-Peace

it just so happened that someone stole one of your plates and not two. and it just so happneed to be the front one, and not the bad one. lol the judge would be retarded to believe in this.

Probably going to **** off a couple people here, but, I just dont understand the whole front plate thing... I mean, who cares? Just put it on your car and loose the stress of worrying about getting a ticket for it. Its not like you need to have it off unless you are taking photos of your car or anything like that... Its not like you are loosing horsepower or anything performance wise when its on your car either

5200. When two license plates are issued by the department for a vehicle, they shall be attached to the vehicle for which they were issued, one in the front and the other in the rear. When one license plate is issued for use upon a vehicle, it shall be attached to the rear thereof.
-My interpertion: front lic. plate is not manditory in front! Some people are issued 1 plate and they must be on the rear...

(told the cop that I haven't received the license plates yet but he won't believe me)had to go to dmv to ask for my plates so they issued a new one (according to dmv the 1st plates got lost in the mail
)when i got my ticket they were charging $116.97 which is fo[<1ng crazy so had to go to court(wasted time)and ended up still paying $10 for a ticket that should have never been

Just stack the plates together and install them on the rear. Then tell the officer you thought you only received one. Then tell the officer you didn't notice the plates were stacked and you installed it on the rear only. Ignorance isn't an excuse, but you might get lucky...

doesnt dmv usually ship out plates together...in 1 big yellow envelope??...
i believe u are the one who is supposed to request for one. u can't really blame it on the dealer. and besides, its just like buying a used car with only 1 side view mirror, of course youre going to complain and ask for the second one right?

I got one of those fix-it tickets by CHP, when he pulled me over after someone cited me going 120mph and all he could give me was a no front license plate. What a geezer! I was driving a vette! Anyways, I went to get it signed by a LEO of Pittsburg, he laughed after I told him the story and signed it and said don't worry about the ten bucks.
