Stupid cop, I need a front license plate bracket...

[benathon]

So I added the 4.8is front and I purposely didn't have the shop put on the front license plate bracket. I have been targeted three times now by the same cop in two weeks parking at school. Its the same cop. Get a fcuking life. Each time its $30, I went to the magistrate to try to appeal the 3rd one because I'm getting seriously pissed when cars two next to me are not getting it but I am. Of course, the magistrate came up with dozens of reasons why the other cars might not have gotten a ticket. (just got there, officer didn't see) Then the magistrate told me I couldn't have been targeted because the cop sees thousands of cars a day. This is a cop that works on campus by the way. I do have my front license plate on my dash but that's not properly affixed!!! BS.

The magistrate said I could take it to court and basically have to pay for court fees of $21 each ticket or pay the fines of $30 each ticket. I paid the fines because I knew they would just jerk me in court if I go that route.

Question is that my license plate bracket from my regular bumper is different doesn't seem to fit flush because of the difference in the bottom of the 4.8is bumper. Is there a different part number? Can someone with the 4.8is with the front license plate take a picture of the bracket for me? Thanks.

I'm so pissed at the dumb cop. Don't you have better things to do?

dont like cops instead of enforcing the law they are nit picking at bullcrap to say they are doing their job, if he works on campus odds are he knows you dont have a front plate and just happens to be there when you are. really obnoxious if you ask me. I'd go to court and plee a case, there is no reason that you need to have it and the other cars dont.

Take a picture of his face when you next pull up WITH the plate attached.. That`d be worth more than $30

[benathon]

That's exactly what I said and the magistrate says that cars around you might have just gotten there. I actually get there about 2:15 because class starts at 2:30 and all three tickets are about 10 minutes after I get there. I saw the cop and he's a old man in his upper 50's lower 60's thats like 120 pounds walking around with a smirk on his face. I wanted to say something but I thought best of it.

I don't want to attach the damn plate but I have really no choice. The loser is just going to keep giving me these tickets.

Is there a part number difference from the two? 4.8 and non?

benathon:

I'm on your side when it seems an injustice has been done. However count to 10 for a minute and think about what your saying.

I purposely didn't have the shop put on the front license plate bracket.

Lets look at it from the correct perspective. Are you suppose to have a plate mounted on the front of your vehicle by law?

How about fixing it the first time you get cited? Oh I know everyone else is doing so I shouldn't be cited instead i should keep doing it.? Yeah right.

Come on if it's the law how can that be BS?

Who knows if he does or not but one things for sure he got your attention. Now if he could only get the attention of others who disobey minor infractions perhaps it would be a better world. Don't get upset about the fact that others seem to get away with something. Just do your part and do the right thing.
