So I grew up in Nor Cal and I'm looking to move back there when I can find a job. My car currently has no front plate, and 10% tints all around except windshield.

If I get stopped and get a ticket for either the tints or the plate what kind of penalty can I expect? Which is more inclined to get me a ticket anways? I'm hoping it would just be a fine and I wouldn't actually have to take the tints off the windows as this would suck ***.

 

both can get you a fix it ticket. About $10 in CA and you have to correct it and get it signed off. Unless you know someone who can sign off the tint then you are going to have to take it off and get it signed off. As for the no front plate, you put it on get it signed off and then take it off.

 

tint will get you pulled over faster, especially in SoCal (from what i hear). i dunno about the front plate though

 

I wonder of there is a limit to the # of times you can get pulled over in CA with no front plate. Has anyone ever gotten a fixit ticket for no front plate numerous times. For ex, do they track it if you get the fixit ticket, put the plate back on, get it okayed and then remove it again.

 

I think limit is 3 and then u can't get it signed off anymore not sure or if the cop just wants to screw u

 

I myself am running 20% all around and no front plate and I have only been pulled over once for tint.

However, I have numerous friends that have been pulled over multiple times. My friend has been pulled over 6 times for no front plate and 3 times for tint (20%).

I have heard that now, after X amount of times, the fine is not correctable and is $100. I think it is 3 times.

Also, if meter maids cite you, it is $100. My dad's friend just got a $100 no front plate ticket.

At the end of the day, I believe it is still up to the officer if he wants to make your fine correctable or not.

 

I have no front plate and limo tint. Im not afraid of a stinkin ticket.

 

Yeah, thats how we roll in NorCal...YO!

 

WoRd Up!!

 

Meter maids can ticket you for no front plate? That Blows!

 

Yup... that and tint.

Sometimes you will see a parking division officer drive around 280 Metro Center in Colma looking for cars with no front plates.

 

^ true, I have seen numerous times where meter maids wrote a no front license plate tickets to cars that parked on the streets in San Francisco!!

That's why I don't park my car on the street anymore!!

 

Good thing i saw this thread. i still have to get my ticket signed off for front tints. FN bs if you ask me. I wasn't even the one driving the car. my brother was taking my car in for an alignment and got pulled over. But since i am the registered owner i will have to get it signed off. after i get it signed off. I'm gonna have them FN blacked out limo. fck it..

 

You get 10% in the front and you're just BEGGING to get pulled over.

 

I think mine is 35%. that's what the guy at the shop said anyways.
