Two parking tickets in one month for no front plates. I love Southern California.

Hello, Stillen bracket.

Yea I slept over at this girl's highrise loft in the loop of downtown Chicago last night. Meter parking starts at 8, I woke up at 8:35, got dressed n headed down to my Z parked right outside to find not one, but TWO tickets on the windshield of my Z. Both written at 8:22am, one for overdue meter, one for no front plate... $50 each.

So...if you're from out of state, then they can't write a ticket for no front plate, right?

Nope they can write you a ticket, they coulda also wrote me a ticket because I dont have a chicago city sticker (since I live in the south burbs)

And in chicago its not the po po that writes the ticket, its a paid and hired meter maid. I understand like if the streets are packed, and some *** is taking up a spot you coulda had and isnt even paying for it, but that early in the morning there was plenty of empty space on the streets still. That and if your gunna hit someone with a $50 fine, ok, but to ruin their day by giving them TWO $50, thats what pissed me off.

Oh yea and I forgot to mention, when I was opening my passenger side door to put my bag in the car, I chipped the edge of the door on the sidewalk

I guess someone was punishing me for my sexcapades

How can they write you a ticket if you are out of state?
In south carolina we don't have front licence plates at all.
How could they give me a ticket?

That's your defense in court. Then comes the question of are you breaking the law that requires you to register your car if you live there for more than a limited period of time.

Because your wouldnt be in south carolina anymore. Like if you came over to my house, and I had a rule that you have to take your shoes off when you come inside, but you wear your shoes in your house, that doesnt matter because your in my house not yours.

No one will pull you over for not having a front license plate when your current state you have the car registered in does not require it. I drove my car for years in Wisconsin (that requires front plates) with my Michigan plates (MI does not require front plates).

As of right now, I don't see me putting on my front plate. Cops around here don't care as long as you are not driving like an idiot.

I don't want to call shenanigans, but AZ (which does not require a front plate) is right next to Cally. As you can imagine, many AZ people go to Cally for the weekend, and I've never heard of ANYONE getting a ticket for not displaying a front plate.

pompey · 05-26-2010, 04:45 AM

wow, tickets for that!?
sorry to hear bout it.

Lemers · 05-26-2010, 07:00 AM

States lost income tax rev. So now they are going after more money in fines and fees.

$50 was that fine only or did you pay more with fees?

Parking tickets: So cops can bust your balls even when you aren't driving

$891????? That must be more than a HOV violation. I got a HOV violation a few yrs ago and it was like $150.
