Ohio driving laws?

see the thing is that when she pulled me over it said it must be visible from 50 ft. both the state and city law says absolutely nothing about 50ft at all. it just says anything that obstructs it from view. thats a very subjective law
i dont know my plate by heart at all and when i got home i walked more than 50 feet away and read it perfectly. its a clear cover, very clean, and the lights are both white leds so they are very bright.

fact is i was in an area with alot of bars, i was leaving taco bell at midnight so when i didnt weave she made up an excuse to pull me over and see if i was drunk. its bullshit. the fact that two different cops have two interpretations of a law and neither of them were correct is a problem in my book.

What time of day was it? if it was like 12ish, I'd go to court on it. Is the law the same there where if they don't show up it gets thrown out?

i didnt get a ticket. i got the "bring this in and show us you took it off" things. i did however have to break both of them off to get them off cause all 4 of my bolts were seized up and i couldnt get them off. so 30 bucks worth of covers were ruined for no reason.

right now its the principle of the matter that neither cop knew what the hell they were talking about and i feel i was pulled over unjustly.

It's pointless to do anything about it. Just be lucky it was only 30 dollar covers.........................wait, 30 dollar covers? I have tinted covers and mine only cost me 20 smacks! Now that is injustice right there.

I would be going back to where ever you bought those rip offs! I mean go ahead and fight the system over it if you want, but if you do, it is your lost time, probably money and nothing will be done.

Have you never been pulled over?

Try getting pulled over for not using a blinker and getting a 70 dollar ticket, when I was merging into traffic and about 2 other cars in front of me didn't get pulled over for not using theres. Just seen my tinted windows and nailed me. Least he didn't check the tint on my windows. Could have been worse mang, just chalk it up.
