Over 4 years of no front plate finally caught up with me, got a no front plate ticket

don't use it- all this time on aerodynamics (for better mileage) and they strap a brick to the front
I will never understand this we get ****ty gas, electric cars, fugly aero shapes and they *** it all up by requiring a brick, ahh plate, up front. Most cars need some sort of retrofitted frankenstein contraption just to attach it b/c the bumper was designed WITHOUT it in mind. So much for the windtunnel testing.
Besides how many cops pull you over from the front most pull up behind me...however its a reason to pull you over just like headlights on if wipers are on OR your exhaust is too loud (but a harley's is quiet?)
ohh yeah many other countries make their's much shorter in height so at least it minimizes the affects (see our bumper with euro plate almost exact same as with filler piece)
Fight the power.

i just 3m double sided taped mine for a day, took it to the Newport Beach PD and got it signed off
I took it off right there in the parking lot, and took the ticket to the courthouse down the street, paid my $10 and i was on my way. Pain in the *** just for a plate, but I cant stand them.

Make matters worse, I got pulled over AGAIN today, stopping about 50 yards from where I was
pulled over 2 days ago. Putting on the test pipes may have been at mistake. Stealth Slowtorin is drawing too much attention.
This time the offices said I was speeding, claimed I was doing 90 but didn't give me a ticket. I had to get from the far left lane to the right lane to exit Irvine Center, so of course I stepped on it just long enough to get into the right lane reduced my speed immediately to about 75, then saw the cop about a 1/4 mile behind me so I reduced my speed to 65.
He was not able to pace me because he was merging onto the 405 from the 133, he must of just made a visual estimate of speed.
He pulled me over just off the freeway 50 yards from where I was stopped a couple days earlier. He lectured me for about 5 minutes and sent me on my way. No ticket.
Had my car since 12/00, and have NEVER been pulled over. Now I've been pulled over twice in the last 3 days.
Bad luck I guess .. Better chill for awhile. This guy didn't notice the missing front plate, although I do have the other ticket in my wallet just in case.
