It seems California is cracking down on no front plates. A lot of the cities
are
installing red light cameras. The cameras take a picture of the driver and
front
plate. I was at a mall in the mountaineer which had no front plate and when I
returned to the car it had a ticket on the window.. Looking down the isle so
did
a lot of other cars.. The sheriff was cruising the mall parking lot writing
every one he saw!
So far I haven't been caught in the MG...
