You mean the officer didn't tell you that it was time to pay the annual fee for for not having the front plate?

$35 is so cheap. $150 here. Unfortunately the police are also assigned to tax collection if you get my drift.

I'm glad to see that all criminals have been put in prison so that cops can concentrate on people with no front license plate.

You are right and wrong. They can also cite you for another code for no front plate! The penalty is $100. It has to do with the red-light camera's, etc. From what a cop-friend told me, if you are an ass, they will cite you violating the more aggressive code.

I run no plate and keep my "new car paperwork" attached on the windshield. If a cop sees you coming, and with no plate, they see the "new car paperwork" in the windshield and think nothing of it. Works so far (about a year).

edit: from memory, the $100 ticket is also a moving violation.

Lol. That's a good one. With California's deficit as it is, they are trying to find every way to make money for the state.

It's a $125 ticket here along with a "fix-it" citation. On the plus side, it's not a moving violation, so no points on the license. Of all the nonsense. A dozen states somehow manage to not need front plates, so why do the other 38 need them? It's nothing more than a money generator for the states. Makes you want to puke.

I got one as well this last week at my work. I parked at the metered parking and came back with a ticket for the missing front plate. $40.
