That when you pull into a gas station. Run into the bathroom like you hella gotta go. Call 911 requesting help for a possible break in nearby and wait for him to get the call and leave.

After 5-10 mins you know it's gonna be trouble.

Fix-It ticket and you would've had to taken it off, if not, you'd pay anywhere from $150-$300 to clear the ticket.




why keep it? Can't u get ticketed for tint again.
Sometimes when you keep the ticket, and you get pulled over for the same violation again, you can say you were recently ticketed and haven't had the chance to fix-it yet.

I'm not sure if that's what he was referring to, but it works.

No way! That can't be true. I have 4+ tickets for tint on all of my previous cars and my Evo and have never had a ticket go past $300.

I keep telling people to drive around with the front plate in the car under the seat, so when he tells you to "fix-it", just slap it on while he writes the ticket, then have him sign off the ticket he just signed.

(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 by this subdivision.

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