I told the Judge that I've had it with stupid Illinois codes of rip-off-lation... He told me to display plates and I'll have no more problems... So I told him fine then, I'll do just that for you. He told me thank you... So you know what? I copied my plates, and plastered no less than 50 copies all over my car the other day. Wanna see my plates? There you go then!! The result? Yep, I got pulled over again! Wow, what a surprise! This time, the cop tells me that I had, and get this one, illegal displays (?) on my vehicle... What is so illegal with having License Plates on your vehicle Officer? I mean, the windows were totally clean, not obstructed at all. So I could see just fine. Why does having License Plates on your car suddenly make you prone to getting pulled over? I mean, when I had no plate on the front bumper, I was illegally operating a motor vehicle. But when I had the plates on there, then I was once again braking the law? What gives? It seems that less than 2 is too few, but more than 2 is too much... No ticket, but had to explain to the Constable just why I did such a thing. The guy laughed and told me that it was not that bad an idea...just that it was not so legal... Go figure, you can't beat them so you try to join them... Well, when you join them, it is still not good enough... Gotta love the Land of Lincoln man!

Bills were entered to delete front plates with the current re-design, but Law Enforcement officals whined and got their way. I.E.

A guy at know at school's dad is a cop and he told me that they only give you a ticket for it while you're being pulled over for something else. Dan Acura Integra GS-R w/mods Former owner of a 95 SE

Wouldn't ya know it, the cop pulls him over and tickets him for not having the front plate. Sometimes the cops around here really piss me off... Beer is my Gatorade. Hooray Beer.

Also, in IL, you never know if some cop is bored and wants to get his quota up. So be careful. Only way to make a change is to lobby Springfield. So write Jesse White, IL Secretray of State, if you want laws changed badly. 2005 Nissan Sentra 1.8 SE, Code Red. '00 Tropic Green Ford Escort SE [Contour's little cousin]
