Ticket for no front plate by Meter Maid
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!

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

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!

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.

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...

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.
