Ticket? Emissions or noise?

noise. 1 ticket so far (which I go to court on the 20th for after 2 extensions and a court date to place a not guilty plea). The other two I just show my previous ticket and they let me go.

Apparently cops don't like the sound of my engine

I'm not sure the Police know either.

To quote the State cop that pulled me over, "What are you doing?".

So he obviously didn't know either.

Most likely the speed 'cuz I didn't have any donuts on the passenger's seat.

I got a ticket for going 73 on a 65. That highway patrol was an a$$. Got pulled over 2nd time for modified exhaust. Swapped it back to stock and got it checked off. Once I arrived back home from the court, I immediately swapped it back to my F.I.

That sucks! How much was the ticket?

I paid about $300 for the speeding ticket. Being pulled over for modified exhaust was a fix it ticket so there is no initial fine but there are other costs involved like court fee, inspection, etc

I've been pulled over ZERO times and I've ran no front plate since day one, so about 40 months of ownership. Stock/boring looking/excessively cleaned!

I think a lot on here would enjoy watching the channel on youtube by "officer401" As he puts to rest a lot of the preconceived notions and rumors.

Great person, about as honest and straightforward as you're going to get, and he does discuss the whole quota thing for those that are curious. Extremely funny person as well!:

that s*cks. The rule of thumb in ATL is you get 10 mph over. I've been told by an officer that in some places they will give you as much as 15mph. (Heck I've heard that 5mph over is the least attention-getting, apparently rigorously sticking to the speed limit is considered suspicious)

Got a ticket while parked for no front plate. I was waiting for my mount when I just got the car -____-

Been tailed by a motorcycle cop for light speeding. Basically just checked me, didn't pull over.

Why is it some states insist on that front plate? I'm in Florida and they don't but when I lived up north you had to have it.

I can't think of a logical reason why other than "revenue" and to give cops another reason to pull you over.

I don't understand how Pennsylvania hasn't turned into a Mad Max style wasteland because of their no front plate law. /sarcasm

HaHa
I used to think it was because they have the ability to scan your plate from far away if you are going toward them but they can get your speed regardless.

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?
