Default Anyone get a no front plate ticket?

Only for those of you who ride without a front plate, have you guys gotten a ticket for no front plate yet? I'm in San Francisco and I kinda want to take it off.

I haven't gotten a ticket yet *knocks on wood*

But my friend got his 1st ticket for no front license plate when his car was parked. It was parked at the same spot for 7 years. :P

here you go, only if the chp doesn't mark it as a fix-it-ticket. Because I received one without it being a fix-it-ticket. Cost me $178 plus fess

yup, I was tired of getting no front plate tickets here in the city, so I finally just put it on...not worth the time wasted getting the ticket signed off etc.

they have gotten a lot stricter here in SF, and believe you me, if you take off your front plate, you'll get tagged in 2 weeks or less

there are other alternatives to the whole front plate issue:

I just got my first one a month ago after driving with no plate for almost 3 years. My car got ticketed when it was parked in a lot in downtown Santa Barbara. It was a $48 fine that I just paid so I wouldn't have to put my plate on.

never got one since 96, but CA is broke, I guess even little fine would help; I am putting mine back on.
