Default Front License Plate - LAX

If you park in the parking lots in the LAX area, you will probably get popped for no front license plate. I got nailed right when i pulled into LAX to drop off a passenger.

I hear LAX is notorious for giving out no front plate tickets.

i have came up with the theory that its part of a safety precaution for the security to be able to see the front plate.

my parents got one there too. i agree with the a bove ^^. i think they just want to be able to see your plates from the fronts so they can see your plate easily and run it as you pull up. incase your a terrorist

IMHO, it's because they have nothing better to do than tell people to move along. Kind of like how campus police will write up stupid fix-it tickets.

Damn.. Thanks for the heads up.. Just a couple of weeks ago, I picked up my sister. I kept getting kicked out and had to go around the airport twice... luckily they didn't write me off.

110% you will get it !!! You'll see few bikers and parking employees just sitting front of the entrance gate and see you got the plate or not... if not, they will follow you then write you up once you parked and out. EASY $30-50 for LAX annual revenues !!

Your percentage fails, I haven't had one and I've parked/been to LAX 4 times in the last month (holiday relatives pickup) LOL
