It seems to me that if a person gets 6-8 tickets for the same offence, that the resulting fine is not having the desired effect (that of changing the behaviour). If it was common to pay $10 and change it back later, it would seem only logical for the state to increase the fine to the point where people notice, whether or not the state needs the revenue (which I am sure they do, but which seems immaterial here)

I am not too bothered by a lack of front plates, but I think that any significant window tint ahead of the B pillar is a safety issue, and should be ticketed. If you can not make eye contact with the other driver, how do you know that he can see you?
