Get the cops name & call the station & ask for him. Keep calling & asking on different days till you figure out his day off. Then, ask for a continuance till you can get a court date on his day off. He wont show,, I hope..

Well, you better get the continuance or whatever it is to postpone the court date.. see if thats even possible.. good luck,
Buut, I guess if you HAD good luck, you wouldna got the flamin tikkitt in the first place.

break a leg, kid

There might be a law that specifies what angles and orientations your plate can be at and still be legal.  That and a couple of measurements will tell Serowbot if he has a case or not.  If the law just says "plate must be clearly visible from rear" then there is definitely a good argument to be made and photos to show in court.  Of course it goes without saying, cops are parasites.

Now I hate EJID, too!.... Angry...

Just kidding EJID,... but, just don't show up at my door for a day or two... Grin...

It has to be visible from 50ft... but the whole bike is a dot at 50ft with my camera unless I zoom in...

PS,.. I have to fix it,... and pay $135.00...  he could have easily just asked me to bend it down...
I'm going to court,... Worth a shot... Huh...


Well, thankfully it would take me at least a day or two to even get there if I was headed that way  Huh but I am still on your side.

I agree with the others in saying check the wording in the law and take advantage of any ambiguity that may exist. I would make an honest effort to remedy it to some degree and then take it to court and do your best to fight it. Good luck, bro!  Cool

I look at tickets as fate.  There have been a few that I really didn't deserve.  On the other hand, there have been thousands of times that I deserved one and didn't get it.  I would say that I am way ahead of the "deserve" game.

If I got a ticket every time I did something wrong,... I'd be financing the whole city...
But in this particular case,... I don't think I'm wrong...
The law says,.. it must be readable from 50ft...
I can read it...
Besides,.. at least if I take it to court,.. they'll be earning their money...
You can't imagine how slow I can talk if I want to... I'm going to try to use up at least a thousand bucks worth of court time...
Grin Grin Grin...

Gerry,... expect a summons,... you're my character witness... I want you to tell them about the time I saved that burning kitten that was stuck in that tree on the edge of a cliff in that tornado with a broken foot... Wink...

....but get this,... I saw the frikkin' cop in front of me at the light... I was behind him and falling back, doing 30mph in a 40 zone for 3/4 of a mile... and he did a fast duck into a side street and shot back out with lights on to pull me over...
No way, he saw my plate before he stopped me...
He spent 5 minutes lookin' my bike over and checkin' ID, reg, insurance before he told me why I was stopped...
Total bullshitte!...

Now I'm officially ranting and drunk...
It's not the money,... honest,... I'd gladly pay $135.00 to kick him in the nuts....
Grin...

don't you know, EVERYBODY breaks at least 4 laws (your mileage may vary) every day, just depends on who they want to ticket and  what they want to enforce.

speaking of stupid laws, how about a fine for the wrong margerine?

A fun way to prepare your case would be to get a video camera and park your bike 50 feet away from where you stop people on the street and ask them "Hey! can you read my license plate over there? What does it say?"  

The video will include several demonstrations of the plate being read at 50 feet, plus a bunch of people looking at you funny and/or running away.  That will make everyone in the courtroom laugh, and at that point the judge is bound to cut you some slack.

You never know the judge might be a woman, and from all the rumors
floating around this site, you have a way with the Lady's.

Ah hah hah ha hah hah!.... Grin...

First of all,... I shot this pic of my bike next to a DP bike, parked in front of the local police depot... the guy works next door , and is parked there every day... There was a cop standing there as I took the picture, 20 ft away, just left of the two SUV's...

Arh, arh arh!.... Grin...
... and second of all,... my buddy found the statute of the citation...
... and it says..." a peace officer shall not stop or issue a citation of this section, unless the peace officer has reasonable cause to believe there is another alleged violation of a motor vehicle law"...
PS... (... and it doesn't say 50ft,.. like the cop told me,... it just says,"clearly visible")...

AHa ha!... I'm either gonna' nail that sucker in court, or kick his nuts in afterward...   'cause he had nothing...
I was going 30mph in a 40 zone (like everybody else following a cop)... in steady traffic... and he was in front of me for the whole time, before ducking back to get behind me, and hitting his lights...  he never even saw my plate, and had no other reason to stop me...

Bastard.!.. I Gottchou Suckka'!... Grin Grin Grin...


Ah hah hah!,.. ah hahhahaha!,.. ah, hah hah hah hah... hah ... hah...  ah?... hah?...Huh....
