$110 fine if you forget to lower it again and your friendly neighborhood LEO happens to notice. And probably a lifetime of extra scrutiny for any vehicle registered in your name for the remainder of your days.
I know neither of those matter much to some who are using flips for more nefarious purposes, but it'll just be a matter of time (given the proliferation of flips and blackout/disguising covers) that something along the lines of the http://www.ejdirga.com/traffic_tickets/motorcycles.htmhttp://www.ejdirga.com/traffic_tickets/motorcycles.htm end up heading north.
Cue the "They can't ticket you if they don't catch you" comments.
Most police officers will work with us on these because they are people too and they realize that the fines are way out-of-line
As much as I resent the whole 407 debacle... Actively hiding your plate is the same as shop lifting.
I Paul a lot of taxes for roads. I paid to have that built.
If I want to take that road. I will.
Like I said "the whole 407 dibacle".
You paid to build the skydome too... Are you going to sneak in there and watch a game?
Fact is the 407 is no longer a public road. Sure, try to cheat your way out of paying the tolls, but don't whine when you get caught.
Justify it all you want... It's theft.
nothing is free...except maybe presents when you were a kid.
