And the quota is there for. . . .

 

well from the police officers i know in orlando they have a certain number of tickets they must issue every month to show that they are actively doing there job...and i would assume this is so the police stations can get more money

 

Well, CA VC 41602 "ensures" (heavy quotes - with fingers) that peace officers are looking out solely for the public's safety. . . at the very least, it may behoove you to look into having a similar law passed there.

From ticketassassin.com (a must for every CA resident):

 

fine. remove the word "sleazy", and my point does not change one single bit. bottom line is that every city needs to find ways to generate revenue. hypothetically, city x can completely not issue parking/traffic citation fines, but then they will have to find other ways to generate the funds to run the city, such as raising taxes. are you telling me that you much prefer that your city raises sales tax, gas tax, property tax, registration fees, etc. for everyone instead of issuing parking/traffic citiations to generate the extra money?? you and i can prevent ourselves from getting parking/traffic citations, but we cannot do anything about the increase in tax rates that are manatorily imposed on everyone in the city.

besides, even if issuing traffic violation citations and fines are not for upholding the law but merely for generating revenue, the fact that cops are issuing citations has a great affect on most people's driving behavior. most, including myself, would perform more "illegal" traffic manuevers more frequently, if not all the time, if we knew that we will absolutely not be penalize for it. so i don't know about you, but i much prefer that people have the fear and incentive to abide by traffic rules because of potential citations and fines, than to be on the road with a bunch of drivers who does what he/she wants when he/she wants.

 

So, what if you're 16 and driving?

 

When did the transitive verb hate acquire the postpositive preposition on?

Is there a difference between hating something and hating on that same something? If so, what is it?

 

Twenty-seven years ago I was on my honeymoon. I had a 911S at the time. My wife pulled out of a driveway and heard something scraping in the front of the car, so she backed up, then pulled out again: no scraping.

Two days later I noticed that the front plate was gone. I went back to that driveway and found it; when she backed up it caught on the lip of the driveway. It had been run over a number of times and was in pretty bad shape, so I tossed it on the floor in the back.

Several years later I was pulled over for lack of a front license plate. "Oh no, officer, it's right here. It came off when my wife was driving, I found it, I'm heading home right now where I have the screws to remount it." The officer let me go. Everything I told him was true. Note that I never said that I intended to remount it; only that I had the necessary hardware at home.

 

even at the age of 16, taxes will affect you. a 16 year old can buy stuff from the store and pay sales tax. a 16 year old can buy gas and and pay gas tax. a 16 year old can also have a part time job and pay income tax. even if this 16 year old doesn't do any of the above, the increase in tax rates will affect his/her parents which indirectly affects this 16 year old as well as the rest of the family because the family will have an overall lesser usable income. mandatory increases in tax rates will affect nearly everyone directly or indirectly.

besides, you're only a minor driver for a few years. eventually, the minor will become a full functioning member of society and he/she will have to deal with higher tax rates for the rest of his/her life which can last on average another 30-40 years.

 

that won't work with every officer. and if you drive a nice modded import and there's no sign of any kind of damage to your front bumper and the bumper has absolutely no mounting holes for a liscence plate on the front bumper, that story will be extremely unbelievable.

 

it's a damn law if it's required you should just have it on. what's the big deal bout front plates? i always have my plates on getting pulled over for that kind of bs will just ruin my day and will cost me $101 i rather just keep it on and be safe.
