Ok, what's considered improper tag placement? More specifically, my tag is an aftermarket fender eliminator, that bolts right in where the fender was, it's just not bigger than the license plate itself. It makes the tag sit right under by brake lights as far back and as high as possible. There is a slight lean to it, but the only way you wouldn't be able to make out the numbers/letters(assuming you're close enough to read them) is if you're sitting on the ground. Any normal height automobile(all cop vehicles) will not have an issue reading it.
And secondly, does not having a tag light fall under this same law? Can my brake light be considered for a tag light? It does a pretty good job of lighting up the tag on it's own.

I think there's a specific citation for tag lights, lesser fine, may even be a fix-it ticket, where it would need to be corrected within a set amount of time.

good luck getting a permit to stunt in florida. this state is so ******* backwards.
here's bullshit for you. my boy was riding down a local state road. some chick blew a stop sign. plowed him and killed him. he was a beginning ride following all the rules. he left a wife and two young kids behind.
what did she get for killing someone... a $75 ticket
thats the bullshit here in florida. law enforcement is so biases.
same deal with me, i had a dodge ram pull out in front of me. i t-boned him and was all fucked up. and i got ticketed. they said i was passing on the right. even though i was turning right in about 100 feet. i said does he get a ticket. the cop said what for. i said how about failure to yield. he said its not his problem to look out for you.
i almost punched the dick

basically one off the hook with a heavy penalty. Second time they take the liscense for a year, then ten years the third.
Its not that bad and seeing how core stunters are now promoting keeping the stunting in a lot or other sanctioned areas, this should not be that big a deal. If you get caught and dont learn your lesson after the first time I guess its only fair the punishment go up. People cant be riding around illegally just cause they are on a motorcycle. what needs to happen is more focus on opening legit "stunt" parks in states all over the country. Just like a moto track...but for freestyle street stunting. I only wish.. that way we can ride, practice, and have no worries about cops. Pay a daily fee or annual membership fee. Thats how a local track does it....
Dont know why the city would have any problems giving permits for it either. Promote it has a way to keep the stunting off the streets, a place that has a safe enviroment for freestyle riding. Only thing would be weeding out the power wheelie busa squids and keep it safe for the people really trying to learn stunt riding with proper equipment, bikes, gear. who knows though
yeah i guess the law does blow seeing if they come to the lot and hand out those violations....errr that would suck!

+1 I am actually in the process of seeing what insurance policy's, what zoning, noise laws, etc.. are needed for that..Ive had my eye on an old abandoned warehouse for awhile...great location off the highway and the warehouse is even big enough for indoor riding on rainy days :-D, or like a indoor fiddy track or somethin... haha we'll see how it goes:YEAH

True story... I think they're gonna realize how many people are gonna start caring even less about the police and things are gonna get really bad. Then they're either gonna let up on us and help us with places to ride or start gettin drastic and violent (gun shots to those who run) This stuff is getting just stupid.. I mean they build race tracks for those speed freaks, skate parks for those who skate, whats the hell is so wrong about us having a place to our thing?

i dont see it going nation wide cause other states are going to see that it just makes even more people run which leads to more wrecks and more lawbreaking

I am looking into why the insurance is so hi even if people sign wavers and why its so hard to get permit's to do shows....I did go and talk to the sheriff of broward and he said of the record there affraid that if we promote stunting more retards will do it on the streets....I can kinda see what he is saying but still think its a good idea to open a place up....He said remember when fast and the furious came out...I said yes...He said do you know how many more accidents and street racing we had going on right after that movie came out.....I told him that was promoting street racing and were trying to promote stunt riding in controlled inverments mostly done at low speeds and in PARKING LOTS NOT IN TRAFFIC!!!. But he didn't see the difference...
