[B]Ohio is anal about front plates. It seems that there is a little feud going between the cops and some sports car owners. In the news the police stated that they will search out and ticket any car without a front license plate. Doesn't that seem so much more productive than actually doing things that police officers should do? Like maybe serve felony arrest warrants?

Well the front plate is one thing, but at least you were able to make a police report about the accident, good to see some people being honest still, your lucky the guy waited for you.

thanks for all your replies. that guy was such a dick that gave me a no font plate ticket. he said it is the law and that is that. he never seen mt tint so that is a good thing. that would be just another thing this guy will get me for if he noticed. he said that a front plate is required to know if the car was stolen o well it is over with and all i care about now is getting my back of the car fixed

thanks

MAtt

Matt, sounds like you had one of those really horrible days where everything seems to just come together and hit you all at once. I had one of those a few months ago (and it too stemmed from an encounter with the police), and I pretty much lost it and couldn't work the rest of the day. It wasn't healthy. I learned a valuable lesson that day:

Don't Sweat The Small Stuff.

Best of luck getting your hassles taken care of.

who did that mod where they attached a front plate within the grill?

They took a plate frame and tie-wrapped it to the crossbars within the front grill and then screwed the plate to the frame. Taa Daa!

If I had to submit to the suck of front plates, that's what I'd do.

Turn the tables on him. Just say, "It's ok! I have money to burn. It's worth paying the fine not to have a front plate. My name is Matt by the way. Just figured we should be on a first name basis if we're going to keep meeting each other like this. See you next week! Maybe we can have coffee. I'll bring donuts."

Or just shoot him. Your choice.

Merry Christmas!

Sorry to hear you had a bad day. Was it in a private or public lot? I thought police could not issue tickets on private property, maybe I am wrong.
