Why didnt you have the plate on the back? Any why was the one in the front on your windshield?

 

put the front one on where its SUPPOSE to be, take a picture, take it to the police station

 

i think that u have to have both front and back license plates on ur car

 

how dark is ur windshield

 

It was laying on your windsheild? Or on your dash? Having it on your dash is no better than not having it at all.

 

Don't worry just make a appointment with the hearing officer (check your ticket there should be a number on the back) over at edina. I think that's where they handle everything.

Just make up a story (mine was "one of the screw for my front plate fell out and I am in the progress in replacing it") If this your first time they will drop your case. Good luck

Mo, your used car didn't come with screws from the dealership. You were going to buy screws for your new front plate the next morning, but got a ticket before you had the chance to. Huh... huh???

Seriously though. Go fight it. It's not a moving violation so its a better chance they'll waive it this time.

 

i know someone who has gotten away with things that u would never think he could get away with

 

Im one of them, ive been pulled over 7 times in two years and my record is completely clean, and im 18

 

Thank you all for all the advice and Yes I will go in Monday morning and tell them that I just got the car no more then a month ago, and the plates just came in recentally..and I found out that I was missing the front screws..But all I need is to know that yes it's possiable to fight it, thats a good thing becuase I will not pay no damn 112$ for not having the front plates on...that's BS...

arg, i got an expired tabs ticket two years ago. i was SO pissed. our principle told the cops to send an officer throught he lot to check tabs. i get out of school to find a $100 ticket on my car. i should have fought the ticket, i could have SO won. but i had no clue what to do about it. man stupid stuff pisses me off!

 

They used to do that every month back in HS (Apple Valley), without school administrator intervention. They would roll through the lot on the 11th of every month and tag a lot of cars...

Solution? Buy tabs!

 

IMHO the cops should need proof that the car is being driven after the tabs have expired. i don tthink the car sitting in a parking lot counts, they should have to get you in the car or driving the car.

 

if this happened at school i think that they shouldnt need a reason/proof that the tabs were exp. cuz it had to be driven to get to the place

 

By having the car in a parking lot, it is implied that the car is being driven.... I think there is some law about licensing a car, but I cannot recall the wording.

For the record, I think it is cheap that they do this.

 

have fun fighting it in court. I just got one about 2 months back... just pay it you will save your self the headach and the time...
