Front License Plate Law.... LEO's inside

[Rick Modena]

Front plate tickets are only about $80.

Nothing for a baller like you.

Just a drop in the bucket my friend, just a drop in the bucket...

Believe that shit, playa!

Such retarded fucking bullshit. "Just think of all the stolen cars we'll recover!" As if police departments give a damn about recovering stolen cars. It's always been about revenue collection and reminding the public they're under The Long Arm of The Law.

I haven't had a front license plate on my car since I moved here back in 09

The whole law is ridiculous. If it was that crucial to solving crime it would be illegal in every state. PA only requires rear plates, as well as 18 others.

I roll a metal dealer plate so it doesn't affect me in the slightest. Perks of being a dealer. I have had cops pull a 180 on me when they saw no front plate, no registration sticker and no paper tag.

So the assumption is that no front plate = stolen? So this just allows cops to be lazier? Got it.

Been pulled over numerous times by stupid ass cops when I use to roll around with a dealer plate on the rear. Never got a ticket for it because I would straight up tell them they needed to get on the horn with someone to confirm it to be against the law or I'll be on my way. My wife did get harassed and ticketed once by DPS for it and not having insurance on the car despite having a blanket policy covering what ever we were driving that was owned under the dealer umbrella. Naturally it was dismissed but still an inconvenience of having to go to court because someone is an idiot.

I have garage insurance as well. Covers everything owned by the lot. Haven't been stopped yet, but I have had a few cops ride my ass. Also had one flick his lights on for about a second before he realized that I was a dealer.

I saw that on the hook, but kept forgetting to post it.


It's gonna piss off a bunch of folks here.

Eh, I haven't had a front plate on my cars in about 10 years. If I get pulled over for it I've got no issues/reasons to worry about getting stopped, just a small hassle. If I get a ticket it won't cost me the $80 you said the ticket cost, it will cost $10 to dismiss it and a little time out of my day. More worried about the time than the $10 but it is what it is. Its stupid.(The front plate, in case you didn't get that).

I thought you were more intelligent than that.

I'm sure the attitude you gave the cops isn't the attitude on display here or the outcome would have been much different.

And blanket policies do not meet the statutory requirement as set forth in the traffic code. The VIN for each vehicle covered must be on the policy. You can't have a catch-all phrase like "All non and non-owned vehicles" or similar on the card. If that was the case, I could keep that card and present it when I was stopped (well, my car is a "non-owned" car, isn't it?)

So, if you are still wondering who the idiot is, you might be surprised that it is yourself.

Another problem with this is that a most of the lots don't title the vehicle. If you stop the car and the driver gives you a lot insurance card, and the registration comes back to last Joe Blow owner, then it isn't covered. I'll even go so far as to ask for a bill of sale, and I have never had one person produce one.

well, the dealer has to pull the plates and the registration sticker off there too, and put a printed demo tag on the back.

I'm the intelligentest person here! And after re-reading, I agree with my conclusion.

Yea, that never happens.....
