I-84 Danbury/NY border

That's because your a bada**. Proud to call you a friend lol.

 

My friend loans me his TT G35 on occasion. I got pulled for having 1 rear plate in texas. They pulled me an realized it is an oklahoma car(which requires one plate) let me off with a warning. We are in north texas an he commutes home on the weekends. A PITA for sure.

 

yes, automated plate reader...I was parked at passenger pick up at Bradley, he just gave someone else a ticket and was driving slow next to the cars. I'd say it took no more than 5 seconds for the camera to scan the plate, search the database and flag him to stop me.

 

A little off-topic, but as someone who lives in a single-plate state, I am curious what the benefits are of requiring front plates.

 

Flat area target for laser speed detection and used to record plate for e-z pass and red light camera detection.

 

Luckily we have a front plate solution for almost every Ferrari 1948 to present! If you want the heat off your back, don’t like holes or a permanent fix then our NO-Drill License Plate Mount should be an option. Mounts on and off easily in 5 seconds, yet still mounts the plate securely to the car.

Thanks Vito.

What is coupon code for? Do we get an Fchat member discount?

 

A warning for what? Driving a car that was perfectly legal in the state where it is registered? How does that work? Even a verbal warning would have been ridiculous.

 

In NY front plates have been required long before any of these technologies were invented. Maybe they just want to see who's coming as well as going...

The question was why the front plate not how long has a state had this law.

 

Didn't you note the benefits of a front plate? All I was saying was that we had front plates decades before the technology allowing all 3 of thos benefits were invented and therefore none could be the reason for a front plate.

But I'm sure you knew that.

Income generators for the State's coffers by using the police (and other systems) as tax collectors. Example, automated scanning can identify a vehicle that has an expired registration.

Monetizing existing laws and requirements is the bonus here.

Also, for law enforcement, a vehicle may have been associated with some criminal activity or it's owner may have a warrant for their arrest.

Looking further, other uses? Whatever you can think of (these from Wikipedia):

ANPR systems may also be used for/by:

• Section control, to measure average vehicle speed over longer distances.
• Border crossings
• Automobile repossessions
• Petrol stations to log when a motorist drives away without paying for their fuel.
• A marketing tool to log patterns of use
• Targeted advertising, a-la "Minority Report"-style billboards.
• Traffic management systems, which determine traffic flow using the time it takes vehicles to pass two ANPR sites
• Analyses of travel behaviour (route choice, origin-destination etc.) for transport planning purposes
• Drive Through Customer Recognition, to automatically recognize customers based on their license plate and offer them the items they ordered the last time they used the service.
• To assist visitor management systems in recognizing guest vehicles.
• Police and Auxiliary Police
• Car parking companies
• Hotels
