so, i'm driving from san marcos to college station to watch the Texas A&M vs. t.u. football game, and i get pulled over. i wasn't speeding, so i think to myself, "what does this guy want?"
so, he first tells me he pulls me over for no front plate, and i'm not surprised about that one. he then says i have no current inspection, which i dont have because the gay auto shop didn't like my PS --> manual rack conversion. then the cop said my rear license plate frame was illegal because it covered up the word "Texas" on the plate, and that's a fine of $200.
i got two warnings for the plate violations, and a $135 ticket for the expired inspection. all for not speeding. i dont need a front plate anyway, they are dumb. when i drive by, people see the rear of my car, not the front. if i am stopped so someone can see my front plate, they could just as well walk around my car and see my rear plate. there isn't even a good mounting spot on the front.

any restricions to the viewing of you license plate is not allowed, that is a national thing.
front plate...the people you are running over will know your plate#, so you better hope you kill them.

Best story ever...
I got pulled over racing an n/a Supra to 135~ mph in my n/a RX-7(I won btw)
No state inspection
No current registration
No front license plate
No city sticker
No insurance
Radar detector(VA is a no radar state)
Speeding in a 55 zone
I got a ticket for the radar detector and paid my $40 fine....that's it.
