I think they're probably more concerned with higher-dollar revenue generation (North Dallas speed traps) and, you know, meeting quotas and stuff like that...Quote:

I don't believe it to be a revenue making subject, but it does give them probable cause to pull you over. I have had warnings in Denton and near Wylie, so I don't know if target location is an issue either. What I do know is, that I see alot without 'em. I didn't know the fine was $100 or so... that might get a pie pan stuck on the front of mine if that's the case. Now if I can just find the damn thing.
I just looked it up... the bill was actually $149. :punchout:Quote:

lmao, you've been had if you actually paid. At the least, you should have changed your plea to not guilty, get a court date, and when you show up, tell the prosecutor that you put the plate on. They will either have someone escort you to your car and look for the plate, or, as in my case, drop the whole thing right then and there without even checking for it.Quote:

I drove my car to the courthouse with the plate on, met with the prosecutor in the court room and told her that I had put the plate on. She told me that they were dropping the case and I was free to go. I was surprised because there was another guy there and they had somebody walk with him out to his car to make sure it was really on.
That's kinda what I was hoping to here... bogus law but I'm not a politician. Next, someone will probably come up with some stupid law like you can't paint your car except for the color it came from the factory with or something.....
I just ordered one. Expensive! But it beats paying for a ticket. Now I have to go get a new set of plates, as my car did not come with a front plate. I'll probably get a ticket for no front plate between now and then. :(Quote:
