I guess the damn pig try to rip people off due to shortage of of city/state budget. The pig gave me hard time even though I told I just got the new car and the front plate was not installed when I picked it up. He said I get the ticket because I have the car tinted myself - so folks, make sure you tell the pigs that your cars came like that when you bought your cars.

Anyway, I fought it in court and the judge changed it to a fix-it Ticket ($50).
I saw a lot of people in court got tickets that they would never get during good economy - Jay walking ($160), cracked windshield, blocking your own driveway (parallel to the street - NOT the blocking the sidewalk one), etc. Definitely I see that the damn pigs these days working hard to rip people off instead of fighting crimes and helping people.
