Front plate ticket parked at meters

cgnahc · 09-24-2008, 09:20 PM

Got a ticket parked at the meters in J-town. bummed cause I parked to carpool to Dodger Stadium. Stadium parking is $15. the ticket was $25, LAPD. Is there an option to put the plate on, take it to a station, and not pay? or pay a lesser amount?

I'll send a check in, but there is really no mandatory change I have to make.
Note to self: don't park at the meters in J-town ... nor in Chinatown...or at any meters as a matter of fact. Parking lots only.

If it was a fix-it ticket then yeah you can "fix it" and get no fine. If not, well sorry you are just going to have to shell out the $25...

BTW Where in westlake are you from? I live by the Lindero/Kanan intersection...

yeah i used to get those parking meter "no front plate" tickets... you don't have to fix it.. but you do have to pay the fine... just another way the city is milking our $$ to pay for their crap..

You will have to pay for the fine.

So is this a fix-it ticket? Do you have to put the front plate on, then take it to a station for them to sign off on? The reason I ask is because I got a fix-it ticket about 2 months ago from CHP. There was a $10 fee and I had to show them proof of correction.. which I did without drilling any holes into the bumper.. it was a "temporary" solution

painters tape, velcro, oem bmw front license bracket, and your license plate is all you need for the temporary fix.

these fit off center...not feeling it.

cgnahc · 09-26-2008, 07:49 PM

I'm thinking keep my plate prepped with double sided tape in the trunk...when I park at the meters, I slap that plate on the front bumper and that it! I'm just risking someone jacking my plate.

how does that sound?

Wo...that's pricey! that would be enough incentive to plate the car.
