Your thought on Revenue being a deciding factor makes the most sense. I had to google it and came across this. Apparently Denver generates 23 million dollars per year in these tickets for no front license plate.

Front license plates: Are they really necessary?

That 23 million is from our one toll road... We don't have toll-booths, just cameras, and they scan the front/rear plates to mail you the bill at the end of the month.

A lot of folks hate E470 because of the tolls; I love it because it's 75 and well maintained... That 23 million makes for some amazing asphalt.

The rest of Denver Metro's roads look like something out of WWII London... We drive a lot of Jeeps here, but not because of the mountains...

Soliciting an undercover cop posing as a prostitute.

Not that I've done it ... I'm just guessing it might have happened.

Please keep the LEO/Cop bashing out of this thread.

Since that is a Forum Rules violation.

I have zero tolerance for it here, and I will not hesitate to take action.

Secondly I don't want to see any future street racing posting as to what led to being pulled over.

Any further continued problems and I'll just close this discussion.

I hope I can have everyones cooperation.

Sorry about that. I didn't mean to start the thread to break rules. Just curious about why people get stopped in the Z. Exhaust, Mods, Sports Car profiling, etc.

Ah makes more sense.

In Texas your license plate frame is not supposed to cover the word "TEXAS" on the license plate itself. Just about every dealer in the state uses a frame that is technically illegal. I found it somewhat difficult to even find an aftermarket one that complied.

But I've only ever heard of one person getting a ticket for it, and that idiot was pulled over for reckless driving. The cop added illegal tint (it was pretty much limo tint) and a violation for the Hewlitt Chevrolet dealer license plate frame that was on his car

Florida too. Most dealer plates are not technically legal but it is a reason to get pulled over.
I got mine from Amazon. Simple.

That's why I throw the dealer frames on the pile when I get home. I run my plates nekkid.

zguynate · 07-13-2017, 10:01 PM
