My son said that he was looking to tack on another charge and not to worry about trying to figure out how to better display my back license plate on the next outing. I kinda agree. Most of the time you won't get stopped for this sort of thing and, when you do, they don't write you up.
What's been your experience ?
Holy smokes you guys are lucky! Here in Ca. they set up check points, sometimes 2 or 3 a week. If you don't have up to date stickers, license, insurance, your vehicle is towed by one of the 25or so tow trucks waiting for business.
I got stopped once for "one" of the lightbulbs being out on my rear plate.
