Yeah, I wonder why in CA it's required to have plates on the back and front :crazy: I think it's that way in NJ too. I guess it's so cops and ppl have 2 chances to grab your plate # if you are doing something wrong? But in PA, we only need the back plate :woot:

When it comes to cars in California, we're up to our neck in rules and guidelines to get fined on... Yet the state budget is still hosed. :shakehead:

The front plate law existed way before the red light cameras showed up...

And I don't worry about that 'cause I don't run red lights (really!), and there aren't any of those cameras in the South Bay.


Yet. *fingers crossed*

Hawaii ain't much different.
Smaller piece of land. Less people to pull over. (Probably) Just as much quotas to fill.
Thus, pigs will find any reason to pull a dude over, here.
They fill a crap load of their quotas pulling people over for non-seatbelts usage.
And my friends got pulled over near the exit in a parking lot. (They were just about to exit), BUT were going to/or were putting their seatbelts on prior to exiting the parking lot.

I hate pigs with a passion!!.... :angry: What I really hate are the Highway Patrol officers.... they pull you over for stupid stuff.... Like this one time a CHP pulled me over cause I didnt have the red + yellow reflectors on my bike.... He ended up telling me to get them and left.... What a waste of my time.... :angry: :usuck:
16 Sep 2004, 14:49 #433
That's how they are....

If it isn't worth their time, they figure they'll just waste yours.... :rolleyes:

But if they really feel like an @$$, they'll slap you with a ticket. :angry:

Can you blame him though? The seatbelt law is there for your own good.

Of course, I have no gripes about seatbelt tickets. I always use a seatbelt. But you have to note that this was IN a parking lot though.

Before they even left the parking lot, they got a ticket.

Oh, and not to mention, the parking lot was on private property too.

But my friends were too stupid and lazy to dispute it.
But even at that, the cop had no right, nor any authority to do such a thing.

True. But lotsa folks have a distaste for the government forcing policy on them... Just like the motorcycle helmet law.... Big Brother and all that, I guess...
16 Sep 2004, 16:13 #437
Good point. But even though, I think you should still obey whether or not if you agree with the law or not.

My friends's situation was a bit different however.

I wouldnt mind riding without a helmet like in Hawaii..... Just to feel the rush at 180.... :bonk: Then crash and die cause I wasnt wearing my helmet.... :hehe:
