Exactly. Of all the little ticky tack laws that sometimes get enforced, this one really should. All the requirements that are dictated to new car manufacturers regarding crash worthiness, safety, bumper height, lights, etc and it all gets nullified by these pointless suspension lifts and aftermarket big giant locomotive like front bumpers. I'm amazed they haven't been removed from the market due to lawsuits.

For the first time in six years I was recently pulled over for no front plate in Texas. TX state trooper, they have no sense of humor...
He asked if I'd been warned before, I answered truthfully "no," and he gave me a warning. No plans to change, I like my odds so far Cheers

Dang, sorry to hear buddy.
I wouldn't take off the tint. 2 years ago, I got the same no front plate & windows tint fix-it ticket (the cop even stuck his white ticket book into the car, looked at it thru the front windshield and wrote me up for tint. It was at night and I don't know how that guy knew it). I got it signed off. There's no way I'm going to take off the tint. And, put the damn'd front plate back on & kept it there. Just don't want to give them a reason to pull me over. Quote:

All the OP had to do was turn on his interior lights. That would have told the officer he was being thoughtful of officer safety and none of this would have happened.
Tint or no tint, if you turn on your interior lights at night, you'll be ok 99 percent of the time. It's all about attitude.

you don't think those guys get jammed up even worse? ride height, headlight height, modified exhaust, exhaust height (a real thing), mudflaps... the list goes on and on.

if you at least look like you're trying to comply, you won't get jammed up much. some will, but you're less likely to get stopped than if you had multiple equipment violations.

Yea that is the hope. I'm worried I'm going to be on a first name basis with the State Trooper that pulls me over routinely. He isn't very chatty though despite my attempts. The State police just hooked him up with that new Turbo AWD Ford Taurus cruiser. I asked him how he liked it and if he thought it was fast. His only response was "I like it."

Sometimes you're hosed no matter what. Better luck next time.
