Theres that time and another time besides that where theyleft the video running in the car, while the office was talking. im trying to find the link but i think they deleted it after they banned them.
Selective enforcement.
Sorry, bro, but your 'Vette fits a profile, and will get you more scrutiny.
Truth of the matter is that LEOs are humans - and just like the rest of us, will have certain prejudices, even if they are not aware of them or even if they try their best to overcome them.
Ohio requires a front plate.
My buddy drives a Chevy Suburban - great condition, no glaring modifications. Typical family-vehicle where we are. Usually clean and well-kept.
He's run through even the City of Cleveland and Cleveland Heights for nearly 5 years now, without his front plate. No one even bats an eye at him, much less have pulled him over for this obvious violation.
A friend of ours, a young African American female in our Ph.D. program, while out with some of her friends, got pulled-over for a front-plate violation. She was in an older black Nissan 240SX, with tinted windows. Fits a profile.
Same with many of my friends in our local Subaru club - their variously modified WRXs and STis/STIs all have been routinely stopped for either front-plate or tint violations.
You drive a certain vehicle, you'll have to pay for it somehow. :)
Same here. My Neon came with the front plate in the trunk! When I went by the dealer last year, they told me not to bother, that the law was about to be changed.Quote:

I'm prepared to be ticketed for it if I get pulled over for something else first.
I keep meaning to put it on, but:
1) I'd hate to drill holes in my car
2) I wonder if the extra laser stealthness from not having the plate doesn't overweight the cost of a ticket.
Couldn't you mount it with the 3M molding tape? That stuff seems real strong, though you might need more strips to hold it up against all that wind.
One thing I see is if a cop lasers yuou and you jam him and he sees you have no plate he might be more inclined to pull you over To look for a jammer/ check you have no front plate
mine came on the car using this bracket on top of the front air dam, it wasnt drilled into the bumper like most manufacturers will do, although this way is alot less dsteady, it also looks like there was nothing there to start with, thus lowering suspicion of me just taking it off
What is the law in Tx regarding a front plate?
^^^^ Apparantly it just has to be there visible to like 500 feet
Thats what i was thinking...at least you wouldn't have to drill holes....i had some fof lights on my old Jeep....i rolled over onto the roof then the side slamming down on solid slickrock down in Moab wheelin and the lights didn't budge...bent the frame, ARB bumper, and hood, and fenders, and windshield frame, and tailgate, and tailgate rack...(you get the point)......but the lights stayed in place....hehe. That 3M tape is pretty stong stuff if the area is prepped well.Quote:
