alright i did it for you bigal although i could really care less

I had to sign this one.

DONE AND DONE!!!!

Man i wish they would have gotten rid of these stupid things in ohio.. It's a complete waste of tax money, plus it looks like hell!

I just keep mine under my seat, and when I get yanked I throw it ontop of the dash and say it fell off yesterday officer.

Breakin the law haha

Do you guys really think this can get repealed ???

#1680

hell yea ill sign.. surprised that i havnt gotten pulled over for not having one yet

done and the one in the back is good enough

****, this would be great considering my new ride

would be great but doubtful

McGreevey is a money sucking bastard

the more laws he makes, the more laws that are broken= the more money his government makes

as a side note, when i had my camaro, i kept mine in the windsheild

got pulled over 3 times for it and finally the 3rd time recieved a ticket
it was pretty expensive too IIRC

"Get her done"!!!

Front plate is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. Honestly, what is its purpose?

Wish there was a petition for this in Mass! I have never put my front plate on any of my cars, or got in trouble for it, but I too have heard that it is very pricey if you get caught.

The reason for the front plate is RED LIGHT CAMERAS.
They need the plate and driver in the same picture.
These camera installations cost about $100K. but they pay for themselves in 6-9 months, after that it's all profit.

i cant think of a single place i've ever seen in nj where there is a redlight camera.

Ive run plenty of red lights from newark to cape may and have never EVER gotten a ticket from a red light camera. And you live in Cali...wtf? Dont ruin our fun!

You should know by now that the Cancers start in Calif and spread easterly.

If there is a way to make money without overhead the tax collectors of the Peoples Republic of California will find a way.

is it illegal in ny to not have a front plate in NY, too bad for them if it is

If I was driving in Newark, I would run the red lights too in my car.

Yeah, in NY we are stuck with those. My bro-in-law got pulled over and he tried to convice the cop how stupid it would look on his vette. For whatever reason the cop didn't buy it.

Here's another reason for them to enforce front plates. The material for the paint they use is highly reflective which makes the car with front plates visible to the radar at a much longer distance. 2nd in reflectivity being the headlights and 3rd being the rims. I think this info is from radartest.com, but I am not sure.

that sucks, that law is pretty gay and i have the bowtie grill on my car that doesnt have a front plate mount

#2415

less government is the best government

btw i run red lights in newark too (especially at night)

hey Wezzeles, i also have a 92 rs and my center caps say "limited Edition" and im looking to see if my car only says limited edition or if all 92s say that Do yours ?

I can't think of any in Paramus off the top of my head, but there are plenty along Bloomfield Ave between Bloomfield and route 46. Also in a number of spots in Oakland. I find myself constantly on the lookout for them.

Only the gov't could rig up a $100,000 red light camera system. I could get it up there for about $1,500.

just ****ing great i got pulled over in a damn mall parking garage because of no front plate. the ****ing cop was going up i was going down he turned around faster than i could even make it around the corner and pulled me over then him and the bitch *** security guard box me in like im gunna run. then he tells me license and reg bs and i say whats the problem he tells me no front plate and havent had your car inspected in 2 yrs. now i tel him i just started driving the car for 3 days and he said regaurdless it should have been done. i wanted to beat the **** out of this cop he comes back and says im letting you off because you just started driving and you live in town and then he tells me dont give cops additudew i wanted to say what ****ing attitude i have a right to explain myself but he walked away pretty quick. if he tryed to pull me over near the exit for that **** i woulda been out i woulda destroyed his ford v8 **** he woulda never even seen my plate.paramus cops have nuthin better to do then harass me over a stupid plate thats why rich kids get away with selling drugs cus the cops are to busy being dicks. sorry i had to vent that sombody needs to go threaten a senator or sumthin because these petitons arent doing **** and there aint no way in hell im putting a front plate on my T/A......

raffi4, i thought parking garages/lots like that of a mall were considered private lots, and cops had no jurisdiciton to ticket you there... so he probably cudnt do **** anyway

the cop was prolly just jelous that your in a nice built camaro and hes in his garbage ford

either that , or he thought you were a punk kid who was looking for trouble, for some stupid reason, i get that a lot, and i know a lot of other camaro drivers must get it also, cops just have the wrong idea... if you are in a camaro driving late, expect to be stopped for no reason.

actually lot of ppl i kno think of camaro drivers like that, which is pretty stupid, we gotta give us camaro drivers a new better stereotype!

I wouldnt stop at a red in Newark even if the cop was right behind me. I know of the red cameras in paramus and on 46, but the only one I can think of in my immediate area is in Glen Rock and Ridgewood (rich bastards). I know Hawthorne doesn't have cameras, but we do have plenty of cops who have nothing better to do than pull over an "arrrest me" red trans am at 1 AM.

we need a pettition like this in md front plates suck unless they are custom ones

i agree. front plates need to go in all states. i hate how plates look on the front. i am gonna just put mine in the front window and see how long it lasts.

I luckily live in PA. We dont have that law.

i just sign the petition. i hate the damn front plates. i want to get a nice front grill, but then i'll have to drill in to it...NO!!! but that's okay... i plane on moving to FL b/c no emissions and no front plates....can it get any better...?

i hope you guys have good luck with this venture

i hate front plates sooo much. glad that PA dosen't have them, but my Lumina z34 came from NY, so it had a front plate holder screwed into the bumper cover took it off and had 3 ugly holes from it, my Lumina Euro 3.4 came from Ohio so it also has the plate holder, however my 87' camaro came from PA and never had and never will have one.

Being that it is private property, they dont have any TRUE jurisdiction there. Theoretically they're not supposed to be there, but if someone is parked illigally, the Mall Cops dont have legal authority to ticket, so they call PPD. Once the cop is there, to a certain extent he does have jurisdiction. Also, westfield may have given the PPD written permission to enforce violations on their property, in which case they can treat it just as if you were on a local road. Just my being that I'm both from Paramus, and the son of a cop.

HAHA, McGreevey is a sucking bastard... yea... but not just money


Ha I support no front plate as well, there is a reason for it... after doing a ride along with police and all, they like the front plate because if they want to run the plate through the system they dont have to go around to the back of the car to get the tag info. Ya never know, one of you MA thirdgen guys could be a bank robber or an axe murderer!

Ahh!


lets just change the law for 3rd gen camaros and firebirds then...

This is a big misconception. I know with malls and parking garages, the town that it is in has jurisdiction and state pd. For example, if I did something wrong in a parking lot of a mall in Eatontown, NJ, the both Eatontown cops and State Troopers could write tickets

Well, Eatontown cops have nothing else better to do but sit in the back of the mall and watch people run the random stop signs.

Haha. Yeah, espically that stupid one by the parking garage (as if you were going to fridays)

3159th signer

No

****ing Nazi state.

Glad I'm out of that *** forsaken state...

Why do we have to put plates on the front? What possible purpose does it serve. I've had three 3rd gen birds and the front plate with the ugly mounting bracket really took away the cars good looks. I bought a 69 mustang convertible in 90 (don't hate me please! or call me a trator) and man what a bitch it was finding a front plate bracket. And it looked *** awful. At least we pay less than two bucks a gallon for gas where I am down the shore and we still don't have to pump it ourselves!!

There is no way that petition is going to do anything. I'm not a fan of the front plates, but if the state deems it necessary there is a reason and they won't repeal it just becuase it's ugly. I love hearing people complain about getting pulled over for it and calling the cop obscenities. Wow, what a jerk, doing his JOB. Suck it up. If you break the law atleast be a man about it.

PennDot decided to revoke my plates for 90 days, so I sold the car to my dad for a buck, and had it registered in NY. Got th eplate in the front windshield, and I live in Harrisburg PA.

Niether state has bothered me about it.

just got pulled over for not having my front plate on my car. Him and 2 other cops pulled me over on the way home from the shore. Gave me a warning, real cool dude so i didnt really care to much. plus my new plates werent in the system yet so he let me slide on that to.

Not only that, but look at some of the comments on there, for example: "front plates are teh suck."

Yeah, state government is going to take that seriously. Its different to do that on a message board, but on something you hope to make an impression... *sigh* guess some people can't help themselves.

Most pleas to NJ government fall on deaf ears.
