You're missing my point.
Common cars, the back of the car with photo isn't enough. Their argument is, you need to see the driver, the plate and front of car all in the same photo. The rear shot is a secondary shot. It's more important to have the driver and plate number in the same photo, than separate photos.

Prius, I was making a point that there are a lot of cars that look the same. If they took a photo of the front of the car and didn't have a license plate # to back it up, it'd be much more difficult to prove in court. If they have your car + license plate in photo, a lot easier to prove.
And yah, I'm sure some day those cameras will be checking all of that. Sucks, but that's the future, watched all the time, yay.

No, I've been ticketed for having it in my dash. The police officer made a perfectly valid point of why too.... when you get rear ended, the plate will leave the dash with the force of the impact... making an excellent guillotine for your passenger...
I solved my license plate delima this weekend. 8 zip ties, some dremel work and a washer and now my front plate/holder is in place. AND you can only see 2 of the zip ties from the outside. I think even a redneck would be proud of my install lol.

yeah what are the chances you get rear ended hard enough at the right angle to get the plate to slice your neck in half lol. I dont think it should matter as long as they got the plate in the photo I mean its the only car with that plate. but hey there are 4 or 5 other yellow lancers around i could steal their plates and run lights

This is way old. My gf gets tickets for traffic cams constantly, never once has it been from the front. The rear has a license plate and its not hard to see, your car doesn't change from the front to back, a rear shot of your car with your license plate is your car. Whether your in the shot or not.
Law says the front plate has to be attached to the vehicle no more than four feet from the ground, must be visible. I have mine suction cupped to my front windshield, VERY visible and definitely no more than four feet and still get tickets. It doesn't matter what you do or say if the cop wants to give you a ticket he is going to. It also doesn't help to ask if they have anything better to do, lol, but that was my second time that day for nothing but looks. Anyone that's lived in Marysville knows most those cops are ******.
I took a print out of the RCW to court, but he wrote in the ticket there was NO front plate so whatever I said didn't mean ****.
