Seen in action and was glad all my parking tickets were paid...

That's brand new. I was just talking to a cop at the auction(real cool guy btw, said he's never given a ticket for not having a front plate, nor do any of his buddies) and he mentioned they have a new sensor that reads license plates ALL OF THE TIME WHILE DRIVING and uploads them into the database. It immediately tells the cop if the driver has a warrant or any problems they could pull them over for. I guess my days of running cars to the auction with expired plates is all but done.
