i haven't run front plates on anything for 30 years. i've gotten maybe 3 tickets in that time. i just pay them and move on.

the last time i got one, a local bike cop pulled stopped me:

Cop "you don't have a front plate on your car"
Me "you are correct"
C "why isn't it there?"
M "because i don't want it there"
C "you realize state law says you have to have one?"
M "of course i do, but i'm not putting it on"
C "excuse me?"
M "i'm not putting one on"
C "i can write you a ticket for that"
M "go right ahead"

got the ticket, drove 3 blocks to the courthouse, checked the box that says "yes i did commit this infraction", paid the $80 and moved on.

3 months later the same cop pulled me over again:

C "didn't i already give you a ticket for no front plate?"
M "yes you did"
C "and?"
M "i paid it"
C "what do you mean you paid it?"
M "i checked the box admitting my crime and paid the $80"
C "but you didn't put the plate on?"
M "correct"
C "what if i give you another ticket?"
M "go ahead, i'll go pay that one too, but i'm still not putting the plate on"

he looked at me for a minute, threw my license back at me and rode off.

f' them.
