Cameras are a good idea at intersections, but only to figure out what happened during an accident. But I never agreed with them using them for tickets. It made sense in some politician's head as a way to make more money, but in reality it wasn't a good idea. Basically it took away your right of innocent until proven guilty. With those it was guilty unless you could prove yourself innocent. And to throw salt in the wound, it would cost you $100 just to request the information and a copy of the ticket. So most people would just plea guilty to avoid the headache.

I had my front plate on my airdam.....drove it like that for 2 1/2 years. Then I get pulled over twice for it in one month (and one was a ticket......
).
Of course, I was pulled over in the first place for "exhibition of acceleration"...I doubt he would have pulled me over just for the plate.

This is how I did mine. I also researched my state requirements. Look up yours and keep a copy in the car to show it conforms. I have had no issues to date.
