SJPD bike cops suck ass!!! kinda long :(

[kinetics]

Ok so i live on jackson close to independence HS and had to go to
autozone on berryessa and capitol. On my way back i decided to go
take capitol towards mckee...and when right when i turned right onto
mckee i heard a buzz like ones on the fire truck...and just my luck
i was being pulled over by one of san jose's finest on a bike!!!

COP: How are we doin today?

ME: Fine officer, how is your day going?

COP: well the good news is, i'm not stopping u for a moving
violation...instead there are a few things in your car that
should and should NOT be there...first is you have no front plate

ME: :shock:(wtf did my plate fall off???) officer i do believe i have
a front plate.

COP: (he goes up front and check) well is that a kit for the plate that puts
it on the left side? because it is suppose to be in the middle of the bumper

ME: officer it came from factory like that

COP: (has that look in his face that he wants to call BULLSHIT!) i also noticed you have
a modified exhaust.

ME: oh officer it's just a muffler welded on to the stock piping...it's just for sound 8)

COP: can you start up your car for me? (i politely obliged)
((my exhaust sounds just our stock ones when started up cold haha...when you
step on it, that's when you would think i'm running a cut-out :P ))
well it didn't sound as loud as it did earlier but since it is a modified exhaust i still have to give you
a fix-it violation. and i might as well give you one for the front plate kit

ME:(WTF!?!? i just said it is from the factory!)

usual DL, INS, REG...and now i have this yellow piece of shit paper
my question is...if i get it signed off, how can i prove that the plate is
factory!?
so now i have a fix it ticket i have to get signed off for an exhaust which i admit to...but the
front plate!??!!?

[Hot8Evo]

Just go to the HQ and get them sign. Show them the Manual i think the manual has a EVO picture in it..

[mtsevovii]

if it was just for the license plate "kit" and no exhaust ticket. i would have just said "im not signing that ticket" you can impound my car and ill fight you in court.

get a lawyer and argue he was being incompetent and for wasting my time.

but yeah, sucks to hear that happened to you... :(

[kinetics]

^+1 yeah but just not my lucky day

[hellz Evo]

[earlyapex1]

For some reason I can't post in members journals with my vendor account so EarlyApex is making a guest apperance for this, nowhere does it say if it should be in the middle/sides,etc


California Vehicle Code §5200

Positioning of Plates

5201. License plates shall at all times be securely fastened to the vehicle for which they are issued so as to prevent the plates from swinging, shall be mounted in a position so as to be clearly visible, and shall be maintained in a condition so as to be clearly legible. The rear license plate shall be mounted not less than 12 inches nor more than 60 inches from the ground, and the front license plate shall be mounted not more than 60 inches from the ground, except as follows:

(a) The rear license plate on a tow truck may be mounted on the left-hand side of the mast assembly at the rear of the cab of the vehicle, not less than 12 inches nor more than 90 inches from the ground.

(b) The rear license plate on a tank vehicle hauling hazardous waste, as defined in Section 25117 of the Health and Safety Code, or asphalt material may be mounted not less than 12 inches nor more than 90 inches from the ground.

(c) The rear license plate on a truck tractor may be mounted at the rear of the cab of the vehicle, but not less than 12 inches nor more than 90 inches from the ground.

(d) The rear license plate of a vehicle designed by the manufacturer for the collection and transportation of garbage, rubbish, or refuse that is used regularly for the collection and transportation of that material by any person or governmental entity employed to collect, transport, and dispose of garbage, rubbish, or refuse may be mounted not less than 12 inches nor more than 90 inches from the ground.

(e) The rear license plate on a two-axle livestock trailer may be mounted 12 inches or more, but not more than 90 inches, from the ground.

(1) The installation of a cover over a lawfully parked vehicle to protect it from the weather and the elements does not constitute a violation of this subdivision. Any peace officer or other regularly salaried employee of a public agency designated to enforce laws, including local ordinances, relating to the parking of vehicles may temporarily remove so much of the cover as is necessary to inspect any license plate, tab, or indicia of registration on a vehicle.

(2) The installation of a license plate security cover is not a violation of this subdivision if the device does not obstruct or impair the recognition of the license plate information, including, but not limited to, the issuing state, license plate number, and registration tabs, and the cover is limited to the area directly over the top of the registration tabs. No portion of a license plate security cover shall rest over the license plate number.

(g) No casing, shield, frame, border, or other device that obstructs or impairs the reading or recognition of a license plate by a remote emission sensing device, as specified in Sections 44081 and 44081.6 of the Health and Safety Code, shall be installed on, or affixed to, a vehicle.

(h) (1) It is the Legislature's intent that an accommodation be made to persons with disabilities and to those persons who regularly transport persons with disabilities, to allow the removal and relocation of wheelchair lifts and wheelchair carriers without the necessity of removing and reattaching the vehicle's rear license plate. Therefore, it is not a violation of this section if the reading or recognition of a rear license plate is obstructed or impaired by a wheelchair lift or wheelchair carrier and all of the following requirements are met:

(A) The owner of the vehicle has been issued a special identification license plate pursuant to Section 5007, or the person using the wheelchair that is carried on the vehicle has been issued a distinguishing placard under Section 22511.55.

(B) (i) The operator of the vehicle displays a decal, designed and issued by the department, that contains the license plate number assigned to the vehicle transporting the wheelchair.

(ii) The decal is displayed on the rear window of the vehicle, in a location determined by the department, in consultation with the Department of the California Highway Patrol, so as to be clearly visible to law enforcement.

(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if a decal is displayed pursuant to this subdivision, the requirements of this code that require the illumination of the license plate and the license plate number do not apply.

(3) The department shall adopt regulations governing the procedures for accepting and approving applications for decals, and issuing decals, authorized subdivision.

(4) This subdivision does not apply to a front license plate.
