I don't have a front license plate like many of us don't on the M-kit. I keep getting tickets for that, and in San Francisco they're $100 each! Luckily they're fix-it ones, but I've accumulated a few of them by now. How do you deal with that? I'd hate to hang up the plate on the front.

The law is the law. I would love to walk around with my special cigarettes in the city but that's not happening. I would prefer to get rid of the license plates completely since that's pretty outdated stuff for a digital world these days. Just do it besides the local cops harass you even more about it in the future.

I think that if the state requires that I deface my vehicle for their silly front license plates, I get paid for doing so.

I also think that special cigarettes should legal as well. Yes, I think that is a FINE idea.

Wow $100 for a fixing ticket?

Here in Los Angeles you pay $10 if you get it fixed.

hey vrungel.. sorry to hear about the tickets.. but I was wondering.. Have you accumulated a bunch of front license plate tickets, but haven't paid them yet? Do you have to put on a front plate temporarily to get it signed off in addition to paying the fine?

Yo Vrungel,

I live in SF also and I too don't have a front license plate. Are you getting pulled over by the cops because you don't have a front license plate or are you getting a fix it ticket added on to a parking ticket? It seems really odd if you're getting pulled over for no front license plate. If you're getting it while you're getting a parking ticket, just put your license plate visibly on the dash so they can see it through the windeshield. That's how I've been able to avoid the citation in the city.
