Front Plate Ticket

We picked up our new vert on Thursday. the weather was awful here this past weekend so we did not use the Camaro until Tuesday. The dealer installed a flip plate for the front plate (required in NY). I hate the way it looks with the plate up so I left it in the down position figuring if we were pulled over I could just say I forgot to put it back up when I was washing the car.

Well my wife was coming home from work yesterday when she was stopped for no plate. Well she told the officer that her husband did not put the plate up but the officer either did not understand or had already written the citation. She handed it to my wifer and told her have your husband put the plate back on. She told the officer it is on can I get out and show you? She went to the front of the car and extened the plate to up up position and the officer sad I have never seen one of those before guess you will have to plead not guilty.

With the surcharges it is a $90 ticket. Another reason I hate NY state $90 for a missing plate really? Anyway she will plead not guilty and I am pretty sure we wont have to pay the fine since the plate was on the car. I guess since she got pulled over on the second day she drove it I will have to leave it up when driving. Any way thanks for listening to my rant.
