No Front Plate Ticket?

[86gtvert]

Sorry if it was already stated above. (I didn't read all the comments)
Someone a long time ago said that the reason we had front license plates long ago was in downtown areas we didn't have parallel parking like today, and it was to avoid the parking ticket writers having to walk into traffic to write tickets. Since we don't really have alot of parking like that now it just doubles the cost so why get rid of it.
Radar does not need the plate or use it to register a reading, thats why your cars' color has bearing on where you can mount the detectors. Not 100% sure but I think in my instructions it said I could mount it low on the dash and not centered (behind the inspection sticker) if my car was dark colored, although I would limit rear detection. Like I said I'm not sure that is true though, been a while.

All for no front plate though, don't have it anyway.

I didn't want to put holes in my bumpers on the last two vehicles I purchased so I decided not to run them. After getting pulled over a few times and getting warnings I decided to go a different route. I made a copy to vinyl graphic and then applied to front bumper. I'm happy no holes in my bumper and LEO can read my plates.
Its probably not technically legal but satisfies both parties

^^ So what's the fine then? Up to the judge or the city/county's discretion?

Anything under $200.

OK, did some more digging, and it seems that since we are talking Chapter 502 and the penalty I found was Chapter 520, I went looking for a similar statue that would cover Ch. 502.

Found it:

SUBCHAPTER H. OFFENSES AND PENALTIES
Sec. 502.401. GENERAL PENALTY.
(a) A person commits an offense if the person violates a provision of this chapter and no other penalty is prescribed for the violation.
(b) This section does not apply to a violation of Section 502.003, 502.101, 502.109, 502.112, 502.113, 502.114, 502.152, 502.164, or 502.282.
(c) An offense under this section is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine not to exceed $200.
Acts 1995, 74th Leg., ch. 165, Sec. 1, eff. Sept. 1, 1995.


The quote in the OP's original post covers 502.473 which is excluded from the above exemptions.

Found it:

TRANSPORTATION CODETITLE 7.

VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC

SUBTITLE A. CERTIFICATES OF TITLE AND REGISTRATION OF VEHICLES

CHAPTER 520. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Sec. 520.036. GENERAL PENALTY. (a) A person commits an offense if the person violates this subchapter in a manner for which a specific penalty is not provided.(b) An offense under this section is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not less than $50 and not more than $200.
Acts 1995, 74th Leg., ch. 165, Sec. 1, eff. Sept. 1, 1995.

So, if the language for punishment was omitted, this statute can fill in where it was left out.

How could I? It's about the best thing in their catalog.

Copper - Zeppelin's Travelling Riverside Blues was never released on an album.

It was released as a "B" side of the hit single, "Immigrant Song."
I know cuz I hasded the 45.
Fuck I'm old.

To have a cell phone in prison you're abusing your power and bcoop's lawyer must really be good.

what did you think led zeppelin was singing about when he said Squeeeeeze my lemon till the juice runs down my leg?

I actually listened to the song on Youtube and I don't remember the tune.

I was 1 when that song came out.

[SS Junk]

Led Zeppelin?

Robert Johnson had that double entendre in Travelling Riverside Blues about 35 years earlier than Zep. And I'm pretty sure he stole that from someone long before him.

Don't forget The Lemon Song.
