    4173. I think this is a great idea, but I'm guessing that unless we get something like 250,000 signatures -- and some news coverage? -- this isn't going anywhere. But I sure would like to be a law-abiding citizen again...

    Actually, this issue is generally brought up by the state legislature every "long" session. Be sure to also write your representative.

    #4099 at 10:12AM on Monday. Seems to be growing pretty quickly, so it couldn't have been out too long. Honestly, I doubt it will do any good but you never know.

    This is referenced on the pointy board (Southwest region). Someone made a good point about why this won't work: All the stupid cameras at toll booths and intersections that snap pics of violators use the front license plate to identify cars and people.... I think we're gonna be stuck with front plates forever. I hope that's not just a board to collect valid email addresses for spamming purposes.

    Ever looked at said tollbooths? They take your picture from the rear, not the front. DFW airport? They installed rear plate cameras around 1998. Red light cameras? Not legal here. If you don't want front plates, let your state representatives know. It's not wasting your breath, and it saves real money. Google the topic, and you'll find a fiscal impact study from 1998.

    Actually the savings of cutting license plate production in 1/2 is the first thing I thought of.

    I agree... up until the NTTA got their act straight with my Toll Tag (another story) I was recieving these nice shots of the tail end of my Miata... the booths are shooting the ass end of our vehicles. If we had red light cameras ( and a couple of jurisdictions do in the Metroplex ) they too shoot the back end.

    But what will the Texas prisoner do if we cut production in 1/2?

    It’s a great ideal, but still the only time I have ever gotten a front plate ticket is when the officer was filling his quota on me! But I still like the plan!

    So if I back through the tollbooth at the Airport I don’t have to pay the $1.00 toll??? Skweet!
