Richardson Cops....really?

I suppose, and I know he's just doing his job, but I didn't realize they were illegal. Had them on for years in WI and never got anything for it even when being stopped for speeding a few times.

Anyways, it's off now, so no more worries for me I guess. The main thing that got me was the time it took for a verbal warning. I was sitting for almost 20 minutes waiting which is really what got me irritated.

Thanks for the heads up though!

waiting while he verified you werent wanted for something

Dumb thread.

NP! And remember, every state's Transportation laws will vary some. THey might not have addressed LP covers etc or you just never got stopped or asked about it. If I stop a car for whatever reason and I see a cover, large bracket, brake/any light out, I just let em know what needs to be done to fix it. Lol, most of the time when its an equipment violation or broken part, I tell em how to fix it or have them get out and show them how to do it. Pop the trunk if they dont mind and I show them where the bulb is accessed etc. Guess Im too much of a nice guy, but I enjoy that aspect of my job.

Again, I'll ask. Why did you have it on there in the first place? You obviously wanted it on there to avoid someone getting your license plate # for whatever shenanigans you do.

Nah, most people that I have found just have it on there as a LP protector or it was on there when they bought it. Why or how they figure the REAR lp needs protecting IDK. But to each there own!

Now the tinted ones are kinda obvious as to why they have it on there. Either they have a dark colored car and the bright LP just clashes with there tinted head and tail lights (that erks me the wrong way! Not only is it fugly, but its stupid and unsafe; the tinting of lights I mean). Or the most common is they are trying to keep it "concealed"... Mostly kids in Civics going the rebel route!

haha, no, just like the smoked cover, these plates are too damn colorful. I might just pony up and get the black/white plates instead. I like the contrast of the cover against the white car i guess....

So I wonder how come I've never been arrested for having 2 round reflector bolts on the lower 2 bolt holes on my motorcycle....one of them actually covers the corner of one of the letters...and is obviously a HUGE infraction. I've been stopped in my T/A once for having a frame around the rear plate....and the officer didn't even mention the missing front plate..but told me I better remove that frame because it was a serious infraction. The frame remains...4 years later.

They're slick alright, but not a minimum of $55 (1 year) plus registration fees slick.

We're going to have to cut a corner off your man card for that.

[Beej]

Follow the rules.

[ceyko]

I hate those covers.

It gives me a reason to check and see if you have a DL/INS.

If you do, and no warrants, then I kindly ask you to remove it and have a nice day.

About half the people I stop don't have a DL or INS.

Sad part is, people who don't probably won't take care of the ticket or anything.
