Why are motorcycle cops usually the ones with sticks up their arses? I betcha he has a moustache too!!!

I'm only running a front plate because I didn't get to see my car before I bought it :( it was already drilled in.

ran my 350z for years with no front plate. looks so much cleaner without it.

Both of them agreed with my interpretation of it, however you might get an officer who disagrees with you. If you do get a ticket it should be a fix it ticket so as long as you put one on and show them you have the ticket will get dismissed. Putting the plate in your front window really only shows them that its not being displayed properly an draws more attention to it. Again that came up in a discussion with a WSP and OSP officer, the OSP officer stated he runs into it a lot on tuner cars in Oregon. Like Ive always said do it at your own risk if you don't feel comfortable doing it put a plate on, if not run it clean until your told specifically you have to do it then see how well you can fight it. You may win. I haven't ran a front plate on my 2008 tacoma, 2005 XB, 2008 Matrix or my 2010 Camaro. I have ran it on my 2003 Passat and 2008 Nitro which both come from the factory with what could be deemed as a place for the plate.(kinda like Corvettes)

Is there a way to look up this court case (case number, court, etc.)? Suspect precedence could be a big help to anyone else going to court over this.

No front plate. Never had any problems.

Has anyone considered attaching the license plate to there sun visor so that when its needed you could flip it down so it could be seen? May be an option, Im not sure.

[Teddydog]

The sun visor is around 2/3 the size of the license plate.

No.

From the RCW: The vehicle license number plates shall be attached conspicuously at the front and rear of each vehicle.. the cab is not the front..

I have been driving every day for 14 months without a front plate. Finally ticketed by the City of Auburn Police. It's not about public safety, it's about revenue. It's a "fix it" ticket. I need to figure out a way to mount the plate without holes.

My tint was done in Arizona, they put 30% side doors, and 15% back window. He said new WA state law is 24%, so my side windows are fine, but the back window needs to be replaced, so here is a ticket.

Anyway, I'm trying to figure out what to do to drop the tint ticket, but the plate ticket he said I have to bring a Pic of the car with a front plate on it to court and it will be dropped.

Freaking hassle.

About the 24% tint, is that true?
