I took the vet to work today hoping the weather might break, so I would be able to go to KC and run my car. It didn't happen.
Anyway on my way home my phone rings, and it is my wife seeing when I would be home. I see a cop to my left, but I had already made a complete stop at the stop sign so I go. Look in my rearview and the lights are on. As I am trying to figure out why I am being pulled over, I am also trying to get the wife off the phone (use of cell phones is not illegal). Then I remembered I didn't reinstall my front plate. The cop ran my info, and gave me a warning. They have a new red light system, so they are stopping people without front plates. Not to say you couldn't drive around and never get caught, but since I have a warning in their system I will probably receive a ticket next time. I have lived in this town for 25yrs, and rarely see someone pulled over. Now the Columbia PD is trying to get grants. |

I love how they can ticket you for making it harder for them to ticket you.
I'm going on 7 years with no front plate here in Kalifornia and not a peep. In fact, despite my efforts, the only ticket I've gotten in the vette was for doing a burnout. I bought a new truck a few years ago and took the ugly front plate off, and got written up for it within a week. I think there's just something about the vette's appearance where cops either don't notice not having a front plate as much, or are more forgiving. |

Something to keep your eye on: If you use a particular intersection frequently, take note of the time that the yellow is on, does it seem that these yellows are shorter in length? The camera syetems are usually run by a private contractor who gets a cut of each and evert ticket. They have been proven to reduce the time the yellow stays on just to increase the amount of tickets/revenue. IIRC, some of these companies have been taken to court because of this. |

Yea, over a number of years, I've seen this on TV, quite a few times. The camera company had been allowed to change the interval. The town goverments involved got a lot of heat and either changed back or kicked out the camera company. |

This is actually the second company the city has hired. The first one's system did not work. They only have them on a few lights, but they are even running commercials to warn you of those intersections.

There was a jogger I got a good look at while he was running my plate. I thought she was going to knock herself out!!

I don't really mind running a front plate on my C4
Some of the other years do look a little ridiculous. |

Here in NY They just ticket you. I have received 2 in ten years about $85 each. After the second one I just put it on all cars now.
