Getting it signed-off was humorous. We were visiting our son in Santa Cruz and his apartment was across from a park. There were 3 local constabulary hanging out at the park so I went over to ask one of them to sign-off on the ticket (the NE trooper checked the box for "no rear plate" on the ticket). One of them asked why I just stay away from Nebraska, one mentioned it was ticky-tack and the 3rd signed it off. I did learn that in the PRK the front plate has to be affixed to the bumper and just propped-up in the windshield isn't good enough.

Simply has to be "permanently" affixed, no Sedan_Clan

The front plate has to be affixed to the bumper. I like the tow hitch mounts. Easy removal.

Do you stop people with no front plate?

It depends. The best answer I can give you is…..


…..yes, I sometimes stop people because their vehicle lacks a front plate……but, no, I don't stop people because their vehicle lacks a front plate. In other words, the impetus for the stop isn't simply for that reason; it's merely my legal justification for the stop. I could truly care less. I'm usually looking for something more.

Got it. That's what I expected. Good answer.

PS - maybe that's why I've never been stopped for that.

I'd say if you're Spidey Senses are tingling.....but a copper I know got into shit for saying that while giving his evidence rather than articulating his grounds and a gun/drug case got tossed for it.

Yeah, unfortunately our experience articulated using that verbiage doesn't fly. People who aren't working in the field (…and who generally lack social/situational awareness) just won't/don't get it.

Most of the front plate tickets come from Parking Emforcement

Stay safe! Thank you for what you do.

Thanks brother. I appreciate the support. I'm admittedly dreading the end of vacation - and the subsequent return to work tomorrow - but I'm already planning a Santa Barbara road trip in August and a winter cabin/snowboard trip in Nov/Dec. Looking forward to being off of work is the only thing that gets me through the work day.

The various LEO agencies in our neck of the woods are all preparing their overtime schedules and response plans, in case riots break out over a certain pending controversial Supreme Court ruling.....

My department was already deployed last week to help LAPD over the Rowe v. Wade protests that occurred, so I'm sure we are still on tactical alert. People are protesting for no reason and with little to no understanding about what the opinion actually states. The protestors riot and protest like abortions are being ruled illegal. Removing federal government involvement [that should've never been given in the first place] is not a bad thing.

Did you just assume my understanding???

It is a bit unusual to march in front of CITY hall, when the ruling seems to defer to the STATE

I didn't assume that, but you're also smart enough to research the issue. I can't say the same for the herds that form for protests.

Mods, we desperately need that sarcasm font installed!!!


Hey, you/your department going to carry the Special Olympics torch? I already signed up!

Bring it on! I don't know what the ruling states either yet since it was just a draft apparently, but hey, anything that might challenge or overturn Roe v Wade, I'm ok with.

Of course, then I have that useless giblet of a Prime Minister here indicating he'll protect / defend abortions here. Funny thing...politicians then trotted out the old "a woman should have bodily autonomy, freedom to choose with her body" bit, but strangely enough, that very same argument is deemed invalid when it comes to taking the vaccine. Then, its all about restricting that individual's freedom when they opt for bodily autonomy. And saying that somehow, the non vaccinated are somehow a risk to the vaccinated...so why get fricking vaccinated if that were true? It's all so very dumb.

And I got vaccinated, but not because of any of the reasons the government wanted me to.

You've hit the nail on the head. Your rights are only your rights when the left feels under attack and it's a position they align with. Autonomy when it suits their position. I hope people are paying attention.
