He was telling you the truth. It has been deemed illegal by the courts.

Illegal to speed as well. But no issue if it isn't officially recognized.
Quotas may not be officially given, but you can be damn sure how many tickets are written or not written is noted. No different than how a sales persons job performance is measured.

As with anything, stats are pulled to see how many arrests are made and what kind of crimes are prevelant. Traffic tickets are one of those stats. Usually the motor cops are the only ones concerned with traffic tickets since that is their main priority to that specialized position.
You just can't stay out of this thread huh? If you don't like the police, stay out of the thread called "ask a cop."
I'm not a police officer, so thats not official word.

Just sharing my experience as well for the mutual benefit of our wankle clan.
I like most cops*. Just don't like greater than thou attitudes (no reference you, my rotor head friend) at any level, especially if they wear a uniform.
*There are about 5 Chino cops that need to find some other profession. Especially if his last name is Vega (major kiss ***), Bamouski (dangerously incompetent), or McCombs (just a bad guy).
"I believe it is illegal to put the plate in the window, it must be on the front bumper. That being said, I've been driving a red sports car since I've turned 16 without a plate on the front and never once gotten pulled over.
Illegal (I believe there is a no more than/no less than height from the road rule about where it can be displayed), but also down right dangerous. Think flying sheet of metal!!
And maybe you haven't been pulled over, but you're a rolling "probably cause" opportunity for any cop.

Not all Chino cops are bad, I know/knew of 2 that were great people.

Will cops give me a break if i put a sticker on my back window that says something along the lines of..."Proud supporter of LAFD"?
Would YOU give a guy a break, if he had some kind of sticker saying something similar?

I used to hear that a lot, until I witnessed it.
Not all of us want to go out to E. BFE all the time and even though I know that the Old Bligereants won't go out to Ventura with their S2000's, figure Cool as Crap, and others might not mind going out to N. BFE to hang sometime...
If the Ventura Monthly meets were still on, I'd say meet you there this weekend, but those seem all but dried up....
So, you let me know what's good for you and I'll let you know if I can make that
Hopefully It'll turn into a Beater Meet, "North".
Car Runs Strong, and has WAY to much power... actually you should be giving me a ticket right now, cause I'm thinking of breaking the law by speeding 40 mph in a 35 on the way to work...
