This isnt about complaining about the tickets but more so looking to see if anyone has had any luck fighting such tickets.
1) Operate motor vehicle without license plate properly displayed.
The bolts are broken off where the plate normally goes and the car isnt going to be driven much longer. I have been driving around for the past month with the plate in the back window. I was asked by a cop while parked not to long ago why it was in the window and i told him to which he replied with no concern about it but was more so curious. I took pictures so if I decide to fight it I can show how visible it really is and it just isnt in the "traditional spot".
2)Fail to produce valid insurance card.
This is completely my fault for not having the new one with me. The one I gave him expired and I had not brought the new one into the car with me (which I do have).
I asked him if i prove that I have it if it would make a difference and he said no. I can understand this as it was my lack of attention but at the same time feel that a break should be given to anyone whom can prove after the fact that it was a honest error that was not going to harm anyone.
Both of these are checked off as a traffic safety act...does this mean demerits?
Thanks in advance and once again, not complaining but looking for opinions or advice.
