I got pulled over this weekend and was given a warning for having this plate cover. Anyone know where I can check my state/city laws for the legality of this?

Thanks!

 

I know that in NJ, you can get ticketed for most frames, let alone covers, for obstructing any part of the plate (even those provided by dealers). Apparently, though, jurisdiction varies greatly by state/county.

 

Ok. I answered my own question. Holy **** $750 fine for a cover?

$750 is not that much when you put in perspective that the red light camera ticket is $100.

 

Yeah i would have to get it 7.5 times. Paying $100 a time dont hurt as much as paying $750 at once. LOL

 

Nothing personal, I don't quite understand why people put a cover on the rear plate. You have the whole car exposed and covering the plate is the last thing I worry about. It is not like a rock or bugs going to hit it. In addition, the clear plastic fades out after a while... that looks really bad. Sorry , just my 2 cents.

btw, I believe some places sell spray on for anti-pic.

 

There probably aren't cameras that takes a picture of your rear plate and sends you a ticket for $100 for rolling over the line in the Bay Area.

 

There are some in the city, but not in my area. Even if they do, redlights and stop-signs are not among those that I usually break.

 

Chicago has recently become ridiculous. Unless you stop right short of the line, youre getting a ticket in the mail.

 

Wow that's ridiculous, I take back what I said about the cover. You needed it.

Have you looking into the spray on? I have seen them in some car mag.

 

The Spray according to that law, is a $1000 fine.

 

they dont work. i watched the mythbusters.

 

Get a dealer plate! If they stop and fine you (without a plate), got to be less than $750.

 

You'd be better off without on...leave it in the car if you get pulled over and say it just fell off...LOL sometimes just a fix-it ticket...depending on the officer.

 

my brother has those paper plate inserts that has the dealers name etc on his car for 2 years and never was questioned by the police. i have been once questioned and they just told me to put it back on
