Need help with "no front plate" ticket (Portland, Oregon)

[Tifosi]

If your driving in the state of Oregon then the police can enforce any law Oregon state law. That would be like driving through a state that does not allow radar detectors but you get a free pass because your from out of state. Most likely they would run your information and check your current state of residency. If they see your really from a state like Arizona that does not require a front plate they would "probably" let you go without a ticket, it's all up to their discretion.

Not exactly. In the case of front plates, they can not ticket you if your car is from out of state, regardless of the laws in your state or your residency status.

Yea thats true, because I had a friend who drove his bike to FL and the state he's from they allow them to ride with no helmets.. idk how thats possible but anyway he got pulled over and he explained to the cop and he let him go..

Yeah I love driving in WA with no front plate (Ive got an OR plate) I get followed ALL the time and they can't do shit about it once they see the OR plate!

LittleWhite: Whats the story with your pullover/ticket?

So far ive noticed that Oregon cops (especially Portland ones) dont seem concerned at all with no front plate. (as they should be considering theyve got much better things to be doing.

As for the meter maids... ive got a ticket from them too. And they WILL check when your parallel parked too. I paid mine and sent a note saying that I just bought my car and it didnt come with a front plate mount and I had one ordered.. they sent my money back.

I now have a magnetic front plate so I can slap on when i park downtown : )

Oh and... I looked at the law once too.. and it says nothing about magnetic (removable) plates being illegal nor does it mention "permanent".. cant wait to slap mine on right in front of a meter maid!

A pig on cycle saw me pulling into a strip mall so he decided to have a talk with me. Waited for 10m for another pig that comes in a car and they both chat behind my car and after 20m later i got the ticket. I told him they got nothing to do & can still chat around doing nothing and tag me for this non sense and should do something more productive.

A bunch of BS for sure. was it in Portland Metro? I swear the fuzz has never even given me a second glance in portland. I would expect it in Beaverton etc.. though.
