Never said anything about money. Has nothing to do with money. Seriously, if Barney Fife from podunk somewhere is trying to fill the coffers for the tiny muni he's working for, I guess you're screwed. License plate light, incorrectly aimed headlights, 2 mph over, straddled the white line and you don't have a litter bag. Should of stayed home.
Despite all the world wanting to believe the police are tax collectors/have quotas, etc etc, it just isn't true. Police find criminals more often than you'll ever know, via fishing expeditions. Starts with little stuff, like Traffic violations and Terry stops. And I've been reading these forums for a couple of weeks now, and it doesn't take two hands to count how many have actually been 'hassled' because of this plate issue. Fact, I don't remember any, but in fairness, I don't read everything.
Part of that 1/4% group, but then, what do I know.
As for police/tax collector issue, it has been proven that many small, and some not so small towns get a large percentage of their budget from fines. Right now, in the southern part of the KC metro area, law enforcement is having a big push because a bridge replacement has stopped all thru traffic for a few months.
Areas in many states the HP stop you for any reason might collect any cash you have with you, and never write a ticket for what they stopped you for.
While I have no idea about TC having issues but in Mo, if you want to be legal with GVW, or GCVW over 6 tons the state will only issue 1 plate, and by law it must be displayed on the front
And small towns in the West side of the metro will stop pickups only because they have no plate visible from rear
