Default 2 TRAFFIC TICKETS THIS MORNING

So Iam driving to work and I pass a motorcycle cop that is sitting at the four corners of our downtown main street. He looks twice at me and starts the following. He pulls me over and states the following.
"Do you know why I pulled you over" I replied "you wanted to see my 35" tires" I know it was a smart a$$ comment but I really had no idea why he was pulling me over. Here is what i got two tickets for. BTW Iam in NYS

1- NO FRONT LICENSE PLATE = $90.00 (I dont have any front plates on any of my cars ) as of today at least........

2- Rear Plastic LICENSE Plate Cover = $90.00 Once again I have covers on all my cars license plates.
(According to the NY State Vehicle and Traffic Law under section 402-1, number (license) plates "shall not be covered by glass or ANY plastic material" )

In any case New Yorkers beware the two tickets I fear most came true this morning. Now my $6.35 parking day turned into $186.35

I got nabbed for the front plate beeing off by customes at the NY border. Explained that the mount was damaged and I was waiting a new one. Seemed to worked as he bought the story. See the DA and make up some reason for the the plate being off. He should reduce the charge/penalty to something far less than $90. Good luck.

You,being from New York,are lucky the cop is used to smart ass answers.I'm sure this could have proven to be a lot more costly if this had happened somewhere else.

it is regrettable, but looks like those cops were just doing their job right - but those are some steep fines though; oh, your answer was a good one although I doubt I'd try to be that funny if that happened to me...

THE STANDARD AND ONLY ANSWER YOU EVER GIVE IN ANY STATE IS :

"No Officer I don't, I was paying attention to the TRAFFIC and Traffic Conditions..."

I dont know if your aware of this but...

I NY those tickets are equipment violations if you put the front plate on and remover the plastic cover within 24 to 48 hours you go to the desk sargent at the precinct that issued the ticket they will inspect your rig and the tickets will be disregarded .No charge

Many people dont know this I deal with many young drivers with a drivers ed program and tell them this.Many I seen months later and said it worked for lights/tint/front plate/bald tire/cracked windshield ect.

Go to precinct Do now !

Yes I have heard this too knew some one who needed to change plates but had them in the car (it was Feb. sub zero) and the cop followed him to a garage so he could watch him put them on.
Make the change and show them that you did it you may get a break, sans the smart remarks !
Bye the way the guy got the ticket anyway!

That's a drag. I personally hate the front license plate rule. Some states don't have it, others do. They're pointless in front!

Besides, where do I put my novelty plate if I have TWO state plates?!

I keep the front plate in a safe place (in the compartment with the jack).

Well, here in mexico you have the front plate, the rear plate
the front interior window sticker, the rear interior window sticker and the "circulation hologram"

it is hard to even see out the windows with all that sh!t!
what a nightmare
