traffic cops scans hundreds of cars a day and make a determination in seconds about who they're going to single out to harrass, around here its 3 things every time: window tint, modfied exhaust, front plate. If you can get by these things they usually dont bother you, after 40K miles I get passed by cops all the time after they look me up and down but have never gotten pulled over. Just my 2cents.

Car Info: this required information?
hey guys, dont belive park rangers, this may be true, but park rangers can pull you over and write you tickets, and they pull over for stupid stuff like loud exhaust, so he might have been just saying to mess with you guys, but i dunno. plus i have a car in the family that doesnt have a place for a license plate so CHP cant write that car a ticket. plus arent they just fixit tickets? just get them writen off.
EDIT: the thing about the camera's at bridges and stuff is a bunch of bull. they dont have the funding for camera's there talking about laying people off, not spend a bunch of money on camera for front license plates.

My dad's been bugging me about putting my front plate back on. But man. Has anyone tried washing their WRX with that thing on? There could be some severe arm-cutting action going on if you're not careful.
