Alright guys, let me try this again:
1. I'm not complaining about the front plate law! All I asked abouit was how to go about mounting it without using the screw holes!
2. I'm not complaining about getting caught for speeding! I fully understand those--I speed a lot and so when I get speeding tickets I understand it's my fault.
3. I'm grumpy that I got three tickets from Orange County CHP--I rarely ever go through Orange County. I haven't had any tickets in San Diego in four years.
4. I got a ticket on the same day I left traffic court. Tell me that I'm not allowed to gripe about that!
5. I am pissed off about the cops setting up a trap solely for the purpose of gathering money for the city like glorified meter maids.
I'm not sure WHY you guys keep feeling the need to tell me "well, you did the crime, now do the the time." Can't you just let a guy blow off some steam rather than nannying him about it? Does it NOT bother you that the CHP are out there grabbing commuters in a round-robin fashion?
I'm pretty sure you guys understand me, but if we're trying to build a sense of community, I think ragging on me about this is detrimental to that. The lesson is "Time to slow down/get a radar detector", not "You Should Have Expected It, Moron".
To address another off-topic, but interesting point: Trying to pin a car enthusiasts web forum down to being by-the-books legal in every aspect would kill SO much conversation. For instance, any discussion about aftermarket exhausts and/or intakes could be considered dodging the law, since most of them do not have a CARB EO number and would be illegal in California.
Other than that, I'd still love to hear from anyone here that has any ideas on how to mount a license plate on my car without drilling holes in the bumper cover.
