Eradication of California's Front License Plate

Hello fellow 7th gen civic people

I'm from v6p.net and interesting thread was posted there and would like to share it
It is about... Eradication of California's Front License Plate petition.

http://www.petitiononline.com/caplate/petition.html

We really NEED to get rid of that BS law... If you guys do not mind go sign up. (not that this petition will really help though)

Everything about the petition is pretty cool but this one is funny.

Man this cracked me up.
cmon... front license plate does not do anything against daily driving 'performance' interfering with aerodynamics lease:

anywayz, drive safe and see you guys later

It will never happen. CA has too many stop light cameras, and they work on THE FRONT PLATE.

Besides, it costs them nothing, you pay for the plate, the state could care less.

Front plates are crap. Vehicles in Alberta aren't issued front plates, which is cool since we can keep the front looking nice.

In Cali though, I dunno... my cousin says it's a good idea.

I heard putting the plate on dash board wouldn't help since it is still illegal if the plate is positioned on angled view. I don't have my plate on my bumper either but I keep it inside of the car just incase. No front license plate ticket yet 'knock on wood'.

I am pretty sure the petition is worthless but it seems the easiest way to give a try.

"Finally, police officers will be more productive in stopping dangerous motor vehicle violations such as drunk driving, reckless driving, speeding, etc., because their time won't be compromised by a California motorist who simply didn't have a front license plate on display."

friends of mine just keep the front plate strapped to the sun visor. Alot of people don't use them and just take the chance.
We have such a mix of people from Quebec (no front plates) driving around I don't even know if anyone would notice.

Its because it passed the laws to get out into the market. It was stock. Just like how you can get a ticket for a huge aftermarket wing, and a person with an STi wing or EVO wing couldnt be given that same ticket. It has happened, but you fight and win since its OEM. Whereas with the aftermarket stuffs, its 50/50.

for real, thats why there needs to be some changes....but i never thought petitions did much, do they or no? Seems if Cali wants to keep the law, its gonna stay regardless of how many people sign.
