it just sucks when you have 7 RPD look at the cars and they dont say a thing take all my information then 2 days later I get a little (suposed) ticket. the old "dont worry the judge will hear you out" speach and the "I'm just doing my job" dribble.........
thier job is to quote - Colonel David S. Hosmer, Chief :"The mission of the Nevada Highway Patrol is to enforce the
traffic laws of the State, investigate traffic collisions, enforce and regulate motor carriers transporting cargo and hazardous materials, maintain Nevada’s central Criminal History Repository and operate the statewide message switcher to process criminal justice information. Despite manpower shortages, our Troopers continue to work harder to ensure that our mission is carried out."
its funny how the word "Traffic Laws" which is CHAPTER 484 TRAFFIC LAWS GENERAL PROVISIONS
what was I cited for then you ask?
CHAPTER 482 MOTOR VEHICLES AND TRAILERS: LICENSING, REGISTRATION, SALES AND LEASES GENERAL PROVISIONS
to be exact its section NRS 482.275 License plates: Display.
1. The license plates for a motor vehicle other than a motorcycle, power cycle or motor vehicle being transported by a licensed vehicle transporter must be attached thereto, one in the front and the other in the rear. The license plate issued for all other vehicles required to be registered must be attached to the rear of the vehicle. The license plates must be so displayed during the current calendar year or registration period.
2. Every license plate must at all times be securely fastened to the vehicle to which it is assigned so as to prevent the plate from swinging and at a height not less than 12 inches from the ground, measuring from the bottom of such plate, in a place and position to be clearly visible, and must be maintained free from foreign materials and in a condition to be clearly legible.
3. Any license plate which is issued to a vehicle transporter or a dealer, rebuilder or manufacturer may be attached to a vehicle owned or controlled by that person by a secure means.
No license plate may be displayed loosely in the window or by any other unsecured method in any motor vehicle.
[13:202:1931; 1931 NCL § 4435.12]—(NRS A 1959, 863; 1963, 1127; 1969, 686; 1983, 1000; 1987, 2079)
so I guess the real question is : is it right for a highway patrol officer to pull me over just for that reason alone? I didn't break a "traffic law"?
maybe i'm reaching but it just sucks because while it might be a quota thing for them its a sacrifice for me, and there is a box they can check that says warning
