I know NJ and a FEW others at best dont have SS. Shrug. Cheers.

Nearly 3 years and 4 traffic stops and none of them have said anything about no plate on front of my car. Oregon and NJ are the only two states I know of that don't have SS gas.

Then you have the anomalies, the cops that will write on their own. Luckily, these are not common creatures.

I guess you mean cops that write on their own kind. There are also cops that write for laws, codes, statutes that don't exist.

Last month I got cited for Improper Acceleration. I got home and immediately started searching for info. Turns out that Texas no longer has an acceleration offense since 2003. I then searched city codes and the only thing refered to motorcycles and front wheel leaving the ground. I sent the citation in with a not guilty plea and then went to the city secretaries office to request open records search for acceleration offenses. They called me back last week and said it is not a city ordinace but their legal team Googled it and it is a state law.

WTF? They have to Gooogle the law? I then asked how I can get a copy of the law and she put me on hold while she Googled it herself. After a couple minutes she came back on the phone and said she would have to do some more checking. The next day I got a call from a city prosecutor and he asked if my inquiry was because I got a citation. I said yes it is. He ask if I was in my car or a motorcycle. I said I know why you ask but I was in my car and told him to my knowledge acceleration is no longer an offense. He said I was correct and the citation will likely be dismissed. Now I'm just waiting for the official notice.

I now have a dashcam DVR because I have to go through the same officer controled intersection every morning. My concern is they will now try to cite me for something that didn't quite happen the way they say. I will always have a witness now that also has eyes in the back of it's head and records g forces as well as gps and speed.

Edit: This ordeal made me wonder how many people get cited and just send in a guilty with payment for something that wasn't even a violation. As an inspector, I will always question the jurisdiction and validity of any infraction. I read codebooks daily and have to interpret those codes for compliance. A little research goes a long way.
