I agree coming to your house is lame. But ignorance of the law is as well. You know you are supposed to have one on there. Which is why they gave you 2.

I parked at a meter in downtown Sac. I paid and set the timer on my phone for 5 before the time was up so I wouldn't miss making it back out there. I came out to an expired meter, a ticket for the meter, no front plate and expired registration. The reg wasn't even up yet, I guess because there was only 5 days left in the month they figured it was out. Either way the meters are crooked and meter maids are out for any revenue they can get.

meter maids have the authority to give tickets for no front license plates now. cops dont go patrolling for no license plates. having a license plate has been a law for quite sometime now

Your registration is not due at the end of the month (unless you happen to have bought it at the end of the month), but its due the date you bought the car. So if you bought the car on the 12th it will be due the 12th. The late fees on registration increase proportionately* also. 1-3 days is so much more, 4-7 is a bit more, 8-15 days late little more, then 16-30 etc. So it could have been expired. Whats funny is is a meter cop finds a car with expired tags, and ran out meter, they usually mark the tires and the ground too, that way they can find out if it is abandoned and that they should tow it.

Sucks no matter whats though.

If the car was in your driveway, fight it. They can't go on private property to ticket you for fix it violations. If the car was a public eye sore, the city can issue a violation to remove it from public eye, even if its in your driveway, but other then that, they can't touch it.

IMO, fight the ticket.

Haven't you heard, California is in debt big time. This is what the legisture was discussing when comeing up with the new budget. One way to collect revenue is to go door to door and fine 2 out of 3 home owners for atleast one thing. The debt will turn into a profit in no time. lmao. [patriot]

It was like the 25th and the registration wasn't expired till the 28th but I'm guessing they figured it was so close to the end of the month it had to be expired. I had already sent the money in and was waiting on the stickers.

The cops are getting bad all over. I'm up here in Redding and their pulling people over for anything visible that might give them reason to believe that your car is illegally modified. Like tachs on the dash, roll bars, after market exhaust, etc, etc, etc. They pull you over, tell you to open the hood and start getting stupid. One guy had his car towed because of a BBK CAI!!!! Can you believe that?! Gotta keep it legit. [BS flag]

It would not be so bad if the lawmakers and the environmentalists did not make it so damn hard for the aftermarket companies to get something CARB approved. If the stuff was legal, then they can not get cited or towed.

Doesn't matter. It's parked on a county road. That's pretty fuckin' lame though

i got tired of fighting them over my front license plate your not gonna win. recently my dad woke up for work and there was a ticket on his window for parking on the lawn. LMFAO my dads neighborhood is a pretty rough area and theres plenty of crack heads rolling around breaking into houses. But officer dick face felt it was more important to write a parking citation at 2:30 am. I am not bias towards cops or anything but it is getting crazy out here seems like their the gangsters causing trouble. Not to surprising more in more officers are ending up dead!

Uhh. Yeah. [Roll Eyes]

The reason why cops are being assholes lately and doing things “out of the norm” from what you would typically observe is simple – state budget.

ALL agencies are writing more tickets and trying to bust more people. They are trying to generate revenue to the state. Who is paying for it??

All of us…
