[DeTomaso] Nevada ticket help--not so good news

[Julian Kift]

I can't help with a lawyer in Elko County, I used a local Reno lawyer to get me out of a Washoe County trumped up "Drag Racing" citation. That's a story in itself... a ticket from a zealous cop who knew nothing about what he was writing. I never was quite sure how you can drag race against yourself, but it cost me $1500 to get it down to a 5mph over posted speed limit and $95 fine, the alternative was a huge fine and 8 demerits.
 
Here in NV a front license plate is required, however there is a little known by-law that states if your car was not designed with a front plate mount you can carry the plate in the car under the passenger seat. I keep a copy of that one with the plate!
 
The Washington law is a little quirky as I don't know of any other state where a yearly tag is not issued. An out of date or non existent tag will get you pulled here faster than a $5 hooker, so definitely worth carry all the paperwork.

> Thanks for the link to the attorneys--I've done some digging, and the sad truth is that Elco County has a reputation for being difficult, to say the least.  One lawyer referral service guy told me he had one of his client spend thousands of dollars flying one of the best attorneys there to defend the client, and even with a great case, the court didn't budge.  He even said they attorney wanted a jury trial, but it wasn't granted.
> I called the court person in "Jackpot" (the ironically-named city where I got my ticket), and he said I need an official letter from the WA state licensing dept. indicating I don't need tags on my collector cal.  I explained the WA State Licensing website contained all of the information, and he said that wasn't good enough!
