ON SATURDAY MORN I WAS ON MY WAY HOME AND I WAS STOPPED BY A DC POLICE OFFICER. WHO GAVE ME A TICKET FOR A CLEAR PLASTIC COVERING OVER MY REAR PLATE. IT WAS TOTALY CLEAR. HE IFORMED ME THAT THE PLASTIC COVERING WAS ILLEGAL. TO WHICH I DIDN'T KNOW. I UNDERSTAND THAT IGNORACE IS NO EXCUSE FOR NOT KNOWING THE LAW, BUT COME ON! $500.00 BUCKS. WHO KNOWS STUFF LIKE THAT, BUT GET THIS, WHEN HE PRESENTED THE TICKET TO ME SHOWED ME THE BACK OF IT AND SAID FOR ME TO TAKE IT TO COURT, AND TO TAKE THE COVERING WITH ME. ???? WHAT WAS THAT FOR HE COULD HAVE JUST GIVEN ME A WARNING AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. OR GIVEN ME A LESSER AMOUNT ON THE TICKET. I UNDERSTAND THAT 500.00 IS THE MAX FOR THAT FINE.
