Illinois Vehicle Code: 625 ILCS 5/12:
Sec. 12‑201. When lighted lamps are required.
(c) Either a tail lamp or a separate lamp shall be so constructed and placed as to illuminate with a white light a rear registration plate when required and render it clearly legible from a distance of 50 feet to the rear. Any tail lamp or tail lamps, together with any separate lamp or lamps for illuminating a rear registration plate, shall be so wired as to be lighted whenever the head lamps or auxiliary driving lamps are lighted.

Anyhow now we have a 75.00 ticket. The cop didn't even give a warning! I mean couldnt he have said go get them changed now
| It is entirely within the officers discretion whether to issue a warning or a citation. And though it would have been common for him to do so, 'something' likely happened that he felt a citation was appropriate. Quote: |
Anyhow is there any way to get out of the ticket or have it reduced?
| No one can answer that for you. It is entirely up to the prosecutor and the court.

Why has he spent over $1.35M in legal fees to block disclosure... rather than spend $12 for a VALID birth cert to settle the matter? The 'certificate' he has presented doesn't qualify to get a drivers license, wouldn't allow a child to qualify for Little League, or for a real citizen to get a US passport! |
