missing front plate
hey forum.... I had tie wraps holding my front plate on and they broke off... needless to say the next day I get a ticket for no front plate (New York 65.00 bucks ) I took a picture of the rear plate holding the front plate next to it so the judge won't think I just have one plate or took the back plate and put it on the front... any chance the ticket gets squashed and thrown out...?? I also took a picture of the plate on the front of the car.....Tony

I assume you mean it was thrown out? Good for you!! This kind of BS is nonsense and nothing but a revenue generator for cities that are short on bucks. I am in Kalifornia where you would not normally get a citation for no front plate unless you are being stopped for some other more serious infraction. But over the last several years I have heard of people getting tickets while their car (without front plate) was parked in front of their own house overnight. Amazing to think that the local authorities have nothing better to do than scour the streets at night to pass out such idiotic tickets.

I have not mounted my front plate ever. I have the dang thing in the map pocket on the back of the passenger seat, and if I'm ever stopped I will say that one of the zip ties just broke, I took the plate off to keep from losing it, and I will remount it as soon as I'm home. If a LEO gives me a ticket under that scenario, I'll happily go to traffic court and will be amazed if I lose.
