Wow, I had no idea I would stir up such controversy...... cool

First, I'd just like to point out my frustration was aimed at the actual LAW of the front plate code (Ohio Revised Code 4503.21 - Display of license plates and validation stickers or temporary license placard or windshield sticker), and the fact that Ohio is rather sociallist is some aspects because they have many more backwards laws, the most inispid is that gambling and casinos are illegal.

I in no way meant any disrespect to police. In fact, the very policeman who would ticket me for such a violation I would not hold anything against him because he did not make the rules. He is only enforcing what is on the books.

And to my fellow Clevelander, 69copo, I still love Cleveland and I'm still proud to say I was born and raised here. As such I still have the right to criticize my government. You have to admit, Ohio is shrinking in population daily because their government officials pass taxes and laws that prevent growth and forward progress. I have a very good job, I plan on staying here the rest of my life, but there are many, many States in the Union that don't have their hand in the cookie jar near as much as Ohio does. Nor do they have the puritanical preacher telling you you can't gamble or get within 6 feet of a stripper at a strip club (yep folks, those are real Ohio state laws). Sorry you take offense, but having lived here since the day I was born over 30 years ago I think my opinions hold merit.

Now, where were we?...... Ah, yes, that front license plate.
