[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 553949, member: 18471"] It shouldn't be, it's not a moving violation like speeding. Actually it's not a legal ticket, your tractor is registered in Illinois, which doesn't require a rear plate. Yes, cops do give out "not legal" tickets, (for lack of a better name), I once worked for a public works dept. It was explained to me there that certain things, (like stop signs on local town streets, or stops signs at the exit to a shopping center) have to be put up by ordinance, the sign has to be a certain size, height, etc. Same with no parking zones. The town may put up parking signs etc, and the cops may even write tickets for them, but if the ticketee fights the ticket, it will get dismissed in court. Most people will not want to deal with the hassle and pay the fine. At least this is the way it is in NJ. When it comes to trucks most of your local police aren't aware of commercial vehicle requirements, and will write or not write a ticket due to this lack of knowledge. The one that gave you the ticket was probably just trying to make up his quota. (Oh wait they don't have quotas, they just get told they aren't being "productive" enough.) [/QUOTE]
