In three days Ive gotten two tickets while my Z has been parked right infront of my house for not having a front plate. Both are for $25. I was jsut wondering if anyone has ever contested one of these. Maybe if I contest it and send in proof of correction they will waive the fine? I hate meter maids!

 

You have a meter in front of your house? You must live in the city or something? Or do these maids go through neighborhoods too?

 

No they drive by neighborhoods too. Last night the dumbsh1t ticketed me at 1:08am <---- WTF?!

 

Hang a plate on your car when you park it in front of your house and pull it off when you go out driving.

What possible defense would you have for not obeying the requirement to have a front license plate?

 

+1, Even if you get pulled over for it.

 

Why not just put it on? It's not that big a deal.

 

Yes it is. I hate the look with a front plate. I'll like the idea to hang the plate at night. I'll hang it from my tow hook.

 

WTF aren't they supposed to be off duty or at their second job on a street corner somewhere. hahaha

BTW I hate tickets .

 

are you sure it's not a fix-it ticket? in cali those usually are reduced to a $10 "processing" fee after you've gotten the 'violation' corrected, inspected, and signed off.

believe me, i know!

 

fix it tickets are only given by cops or sheriffs.... those meter ladys just want you to pay the city. thats it.

 

not true. i've received fix-it tickets by meter maids.

 

Do meter maids really have the authority to give a ticket for a violation other than, I dunno, something relating to a meter? I thought they were jsut parking enforcers? Do real cops tool around giving out citations in the middle of the night now?

As for back-to-back tickets...if its the same offense 2 days in a row...you can fight that you hadn't been able to fix the first citation before the second one was written. They need to give you a reasonable amount of time to actually correct or pay the issue.

 

No it isn't you are just making it a big deal. Either abide or get a ticket, simple.

 

i guess it depends what city. my friend got some tickets for no front license plate, all he had to do is pay it off.

 

I say jus zip tie it onto yer front bumper or something...that way it's not stuck on there forever and you can take it off with a snip here and a snip there...

 

well a while ago, my car was parked in front of my office in ktown without a front plate. i just got a nice 30?40? dollar ticket. i cant remember how much. but it wasnt a fix it.

 

the front plate ticket from a meter maid i got up in berkeley [alameda county] was a fix it ticket. best part was that i could get it signed by a METER MAID as well as a cop.. and there's meter maids everywhere.

 

lol. that was FASTTT NAEIRI!!

 

lmao it was, huh. a minute.

..can you tell i'm not doing any work :[
