Sucks. I got a parking ticket for $50 last Thursday for parking for stopping 5 sec in a no standing
...I pulled the car over, got out to drop a letter in the mail box located at the side of the road.. got back in the car and noticed the meter maid was trying to jump in front of my car in order to block it so she could complete writing the ticket.
I would have stopped in a metered parking spot, but all the spots were taken by people that weren't paying the meters.
When I dropped my window to ask her what she's doing, she then had the ***** to stick her hand (and ticket) in my car in order to put the ticket on my dashboard. wtf?

That's complete BS... I guess you have a couple options now to go on...
1. Leave as is.
You'll will be leaving yourself for future scrutiny by this same cop and most likely will not give you a warning the second time...
Granted we all know that his reasoning is lame as hell and w/some effort you could fight that ticket and win.
But what does that gain you other than Legal Experience.
2. Change your plate cover.
This is what I would do. Possibly just a very nice plate frame or basically just something different then what you have now...
BTW, I think your plate looks great but I'm not the cop.
Now if the MF pulls you over again, then you have at least made efforts to comply.
His beef can NOT be the plate anymore.
My choice would be #2, unfortunately the MF-Dhead wins but don't get sucked into his game.
Right or Wrong, I never liked being pulled over for any reason. Be smart.

with my luck.. there woulda been an unmarked cop behind me watching that
..I forgot to mention that the meter maid wasn't even in uniform. Looked like a regular civilian in a brown shirt (instead of the standard issue white shirt with blue shorts) with a messenger bag.
Was only a few blocks from my home too... I'm probably paying her salary as part of my city taxes.
ARRRGGGHHH!!!!
