She then tells me she got stopped for not having a front license plate on, and I have to take the Camaro license plate holder off the back because they can't see the plate well enough. We have had the car for almost a year and dozens of cops have given me thumbs up,, It just goes to show there is always one pr**k out there to ruin everything.
The law is the law. If your state law requires a front plate, and you decide to ignore that law, and eventually you, or your wife get stopped and ticketed for violating that law, is anyone involved really a prick?
The Police officer is not the prick. He or She is just doing his or her job properly. They are enforcing the law that states the owner of the car must display a front tag/plate. So, in this case, who would be the Prick? The person following the laws, or the person that believes they are abouve the laws that all others must follow?
