Nothing even to worry about man. All of it will get written off and thrown out.

#3 is probably not true but I have gotten away with not having the front plate in court. It was in lancaster, CA.

No. Thats the same as having no front plate at all.

rcheung is right. I got a fix it for this before. cali does suck on mods, especially exhausts.

That is even worse than not having one at all, because then the cop knows that you know that there has to be one on the front of your car but you decided not to put it on. Just run a front plate and then you don't have to worry about being pulled over for stupid reasons like this.

If you live in CA, you should have known that police are strict about modifying cars. I don't live in CA and I know. And if you bought the car from dealer, they should take care of your motor vehicle work, and give you 2 plates. if not, then it's their fault.

If I live in CA I would just keep my car stock, that state has the worst grade gas that cost very high, the most strict emission standard, and the most strict cops.

Ask yourself this question, "do cars in MD have front license plate?" if they do then you need one.
I got pulled over 2 days ago and the first thing cop did after she gets out of the car was to see if
I have license plate in the front. Do yourself a favor, don't give them a excuse to give you a ticket.

Front plate is one thing the police seldom notice in California. I have had six cars in 18 years with no front plate -- only one ticket, years ago. Then again, if you're rolling with a big wing, loud exhaust and aftermarket intake, not to mention Driving While Young :O ... they may look for every last violation.

thanks for the input guys. Well when he was checking my engine he was playing with the MBC and he asked what it was and i jsut said it was a vaccuum stabilizer and didnt say anything but yeah here is a pic of the tickets he gave me...


that last one is because my wallet kind of wore away the magnetic strip and so he's making me get a new one..wtf kind of s**t is that?

anyways, i have to get s state referree to check out my car and he will tell me whats illegal etc etc then i have to fix it.

My court date is set for May 1st so do i have until then to fix it to show the judge? or will he tell me fix it etc..? first ticket ever :P
