just a heads up if you guys drive in Palo Alto, these bastards are cracking down and giving out tickets.

its only a $10 fix it ticket, but still he didnt have to give it to me as i watched him and argued.

damm end of the month quotas, the same officer has never ticked my car since i got it and i always park in the same spot.

Yeah I got one parked there too, from a metermaid. When I went to the downtown PA PD to get it signed off, there was an officer literally working the curbside, signing off a line of people's front plate tickets. She said "yeah, it's amazing. They are giving out *so* many of these nowadays!" Well that made me feel better

i usually put mine on the windshield but the violation states it must be affixed to the front of the vehicle, i told the meter maid i dont have holes, his reply was "well i can see you have the plugs, so you should just drill holes for the plate"

im slapping my plate on tomorrow and getting it signed off, its just a pain to have to deal with such petty tickets.

Is it really only $10? I'd pay that once or twice a year. I guess the problem is the hassle of having to get it checked out.
