NY woman who used to own "NCC-1701" license plate ticketed thousands of dollars because of cars with Star Trek novelty plates going through traffic cameras.

Grew up in a state with front plates… Later I moved to a place with only rear plates…

Idk why the front ones are even needed to be honest… Ease of enforcement?

Seems reasonable to be able to identify cars from both sides

TheMightyCanuck@sh.itjust.works · 2 months ago

And unreasonable to walk around to read the back plate?

We need to make it easier for cops to look us up. This is a police state

How are speed cameras handled in one plate states? In Germany we have front plates so you get the driver and the plate on one picture

Owner/holder of registration is held liable for any photoradar that is mail based.

Officer based (pulled over) is on whomever is driving the vehicle.

Never seen it be an issue, fault wise

Ah, you do it via the backside :D

Yes. On photo, we don’t care who is driving. Owner gets the fine.

It’s less of a system for correction of bad driving habits and more of a system for renevue generation. Which is shitty

Don’t worry it’s the same in Germany. It’s also mostly a cash cow.
