So I got pulled over yesterday again for my license plate this time the guy was a nicer state trooper, but he gave me a non fix it ticket of 97 dollars for not displaying plates on both front and back. after he gave me the ticket he asked if I had any questions and I asked him if he thought the ticket was fair. He said that he had no option but to site me. Anyway I have another question. In my case I got pulled over two days ago and he told me to put my font plate on. I got pulled over yesterday and got a ticket for no plate. So my question is to poilice like put into your "system" like warnings that they have given out so that if another cop sees that they have been warned then they like just give out a ticket because I was already warned or is there no recording of warnings?
Why don't you just keep you're front plate on? Seems pretty simple to me?

Then I would really spend the couple bucks and get a new one.....Depending on where ya live, cops can follow the law to the T and give you a ticket, which could lead him to further investigate you're car. I know this might sound stupid, but untill you get a new plate, you could make a copy of you're rear plate and put it in the front.....

Do you think the 8 billion dollars our government spends on the war on marijuana, ive done my research not war on drugs, just to combat marijuana is justifiable? IMO taking people to jail for something that has been legal 99% of its use is ludicrous. We should use all that money for something useful like universal healthcare.

A friend of mine and I were out driving one night in his E36 M3 that had a great sounding but LOUD exhaust (remus) and we were driving down a backroad and the driver floored it, and we flew by a police car that was driving in the opposite lane - i alerted the driver and he started to slow down. I looked behind me and surely enough the car was doing a HARD 180 to get in behind us. My friend knew we were screwed so he pulled over just to save the guy the trouble of having to turn on his lights, i mean, we knew that he was going to pull us over anyways.

He drives up behind us, kind of looks at us funny, then turns around and drives off...

why did this happen? do cops look keenly on people who surrender? I'm not sure if we were actually speeding but it sure SOUNDED like we were...

Marijuana is illegal plain and simple. Spending money to stop drug trade is completely justifiable. The drug is downplayed by those that use it, it's a gateway drug.

Most likely he saw that you knew you were doing something wrong and changed his mind about talking to you.

How can you think marijuana is a drug. Its 100% natural straight from our earths ground. Not processed in a factory. Its never killed a single person. Oh well I dont want a big discussion happening. Your gateway theory is wrong in fact it couldnt be any more wrong. Marijauna is not a gateway to useing illicit drugs the people are. If people smoke pot and then go try cocaine it doesnt mean that weed just like opened this door. The door would have been there any way whether or not they used marijuana before trying the other drugs.
Oh yea I had another question what do you think your ticket to good deed ratio is. I.e. 14 point less speeding, no license plate, running stop sign tickets to 1 kitty saved from a tree.

hey quick question.
around december I was driving thru a snow storm later in the evening,and it was pretty much just a big white out. I couldnt see 5 feet in front of me with my lights on. but I tried turning my lights off, and i could see perfectly fine just because the headlights shined all over the falling snow instead of the ground. Now im just wondering. would you give a person a ticket for driving thru a small residential neighborhood during the evening without theire lights on during a whiteout??
I seriously couldnt see 5 feet in front of me. and without the lights on it was like it was daytime just cause the moon was out and the snow on the ground acted like a freakin mirror to the moons light.

that make sense?
