There are also a million of excuses they tell u that u are deserve to the ticket.
No, i park head-out, what a mistake!

 

Got to fund all those social programs for illegals from somewhere....

 

naw its just socal that has sh!tty laws like that

 

This happened to me 3 times. I got tired of dealing with cops and decided to put my front plate permanently. It sucks!

 

They are broke where else are they going to get the $$$$$

 

+1 i ended up putting on my front plate. left it there permanently

 

i don't think that legal its your own driveway as long as it wasn't poking out on the street i don't see how they can. BTW i just got one too last thurs

 

I dont think it's worth your time to fight the ticket. I'd just tape the plate on and then get it signed off and pay the small fee.

You go to court and might end up having to pay anyway, so I guess it depends on how much your time is worth to you... Sucks that it happened in your drive way though.

 

NOT Legal.

they cant prove that you actually drive like that

A) they never actually saw it on a public road.

B) he didn't know the circumstances of why it was off. if he spoke to you and asked why it was off and you told him the real reason then he could have.


only reason they can ticket you in you driveway is for "neighborhood eyesore" where the car is dilapidated and does not keep the neighborhood. if not that is on PRIVATE PROPERTY which means that you can do whatever the *** you want with it.

< had a retired cop on his street that also was the city volunteer that drove around looking to pop everyone for this chit, including me 3 TIMES over my project cars. decided to figure out all the BS rules he was making up as he went along.

 

agree with u, i put the license plate back today and sign off without any extra words in the police station, no "hi", no "thank u". I even noticed that 3 cars just parked next to cop cars without front license at the police station (Taravel), but who can give them a little care

 

That sucks, man. One of my neighbors just lives one blocks away did not put the front license on his 90s' civic for couple of years, it is fine, but mine got BS on the driveway. What i am worry about is if i protest the ticket, even i win, that cop will come by my house and check every piece of my car frequently.
Conclusions: Our cars are attractive and most cops are haters, too

 

WTF is wrong with California?

 

I don't wanna give more money away. Therefore, I got my plate on.

 

Was your Z poking a millimeter onto the sidewalk from your driveway? Sidewalks = public easement = can get ticket as being on public property. BS I know but there's their excuse. Happened to me for blocking a public sidewalk from my private driveway ever so little....WTF...total chicken sheit ticket

 

state is broke so they need all the money they can get.

you can fight and should win or just zip tie the plate, pay $10, and call it a day. last time i did that, they didn't even check if the plate was on...so i took it right off while at the station lol.

 

My g/f had the same thing happen. She got a no front plate ticket so we got one of those tow-hook brackets, put it on and she goes to the police station to pay... Well when she gets inside the ask "have you put it on?" She said "yes" and they said "ok" and she paid without them even looking.

Her ticket was kinda BS because she also got a written warning for her front tint being too dark, yes, a warning for that but a ticket for the plate.

I guess California's plan is to get out of debt one fix-it ticket at a time. I bet the administration costs of such a ticket is greater than any amount of money they actually recover...

 

I've gotten a couple no-front plate tickets in the past and they were just $10 fix-it tickets in SF. My bro got the same ticket parked on the streets.

I call BS on the $811 ticket. Had to be more reasons than just no front plate.

 

thats kinda hot!
