so is it true? do i need to remove my hitch even if it does not obstruct the plate?

NO! - if it does not interfere with the alpha/numeric of the plate, then you do not have to remove it. I stop trucks on I-10 all the time, and have stopped 100's for that very thing, but have never written a ticket for it..................until I found their load!

GOOD Ill tell the cops in Texas that because, they pull her over everytime she goes to houston for "obstructed plate" but the frame she has doesnt obstruct any writing on the plate at all.

Funny how they always let her go when they realize shes not a drug smuggler

can you say "profiling?"

They always say "no such thing as a sure bet in life". Well, I disagree with that and unfortunately I was proven right just a few minutes ago with another criminal killing 3 in a 25 minute crime spree in Cali.

On duty, I carry a .40 Glock fully loaded and 2 spare magazines on my duty rig, I have a Remington 870 with mag extension loaded with buckshot and slugs, and in the same case I carry a AR-15 with 250 rounds of ammo total. I also carry an ammo can with less than lethal 12ga rounds and door breacher rounds in my unit at all times. Now, if we go out for a special operation call/warrant, I carry my Sig .45 and sometimes I carry a 37mm bean bag gun, depending on the situation.

I do not carry this arsenal to look tuff, or try to intimidate people. I carry it to meet or exceed the force of my enemy - the everyday criminal. These weapons are not carried to address law abiding citizens, the hard working man/woman trying to raise a family. They are there for the mentally unstable, crazy mofo's that seem to be on every corner.

I can promise you that the only sure bet in America is more crazy people will continue to kill people. Weather with a gun, and sword, a bomb, a car, fire, a knife, or baseball bat...........criminals and mentally unstable people are around us. As one man said, I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy. The liberals are doing what they do best and they have an agenda. Unfortunately, we will be having this fight for some time and crazy people with violent video games will continue to kill innocent victims. Welcome to the new society - just remember, the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun! - Where's yours!?

This is the problem with liberals pushing gun control...they are idoits.

http://www.bayoushooter.com/forums/s...g-door-to-door.

One of the major gun-control efforts in Olympia this session calls for the sheriff to inspect the homes of assault-weapon owners. The bill’s backers say that was a mistake.

Forget police drones flying over your house. How about police coming inside, once a year, to have a look around?
As Orwellian as that sounds, it isn’t hypothetical. The notion of police home inspections was introduced in a bill last week in Olympia.
That it’s part of one of the major gun-control efforts pains me. It seemed in recent weeks lawmakers might be headed toward some common-sense regulation of gun sales. But then last week they went too far. By mistake, they claim. But still too far.

“They always say, we’ll never go house to house to take your guns away. But then you see this, and you have to wonder.”
That’s no gun-rights absolutist talking, but Lance Palmer, a Seattle trial lawyer and self-described liberal who brought the troubling Senate Bill 5737 to my attention. It’s the long-awaited assault-weapons ban, introduced last week by three Seattle Democrats.
(Note to readers: The link above is to a new version of SB 5737, which no longer contains the disputed provision. The original version of the bill has been erased from the state’s Web site, but here you can see it as it was proposed.)

Responding to the Newtown school massacre, the bill would ban the sale of semi-automatic weapons that use detachable ammunition magazines. Clips that contain more than 10 rounds would be illegal.
But then, with respect to the thousands of weapons like that already owned by Washington residents, the bill says this:
“In order to continue to possess an assault weapon that was legally possessed on the effective date of this section, the person possessing shall ... safely and securely store the assault weapon. The sheriff of the county may, no more than once per year, conduct an inspection to ensure compliance with this subsection.”
In other words, come into homes without a warrant to poke around. Failure to comply could get you up to a year in jail.

“I’m a liberal Democrat — I’ve voted for only one Republican in my life,” Palmer told me. “But now I understand why my right-wing opponents worry about having to fight a government takeover.”
He added: “It’s exactly this sort of thing that drives people into the arms of the NRA.”
I have been blasting the NRA for its paranoia in the gun-control debate. But Palmer is right — you can’t fully blame them, when cops going door-to-door shows up in legislation.
I spoke to two of the sponsors. One, Sen. Adam Kline, D-Seattle, a lawyer who typically is hyper-attuned to civil-liberties issues, said he did not know the bill authorized police searches because he had not read it closely before signing on.

“I made a mistake,” Kline said. “I frankly should have vetted this more closely.”

That lawmakers sponsor bills they haven’t read is common. Still, it’s disappointing on one of this political magnitude. Not counting a long table, it’s only an eight-page bill.
The prime sponsor, Sen. Ed Murray, D-Seattle, also condemned the search provision in his own bill, after I asked him about it. He said Palmer is right that it’s probably unconstitutional.
“I have to admit that shouldn’t be in there,” Murray said.

He said he came to realize that an assault-weapons ban has little chance of passing this year anyway. So he put in this bill more as “a general statement, as a guiding light of where we need to go.” Without sweating all the details.

Later, a Senate Democratic spokesman blamed unnamed staff and said a new bill will be introduced.

Murray had alluded at a gun-control rally in January that progress on guns could take years.
“We will only win if we reach out and continue to change the hearts and minds of Washingtonians,” Murray said. “We can attack them, or start a dialogue.”
Good plan, very bad start. What’s worse, the case for the perfectly reasonable gun-control bills in Olympia just got tougher.

just gonna keep them coming:

Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Joe Biden's advice for self-defense: Buy a shotgun, not an assault rifle.
Biden, who is spearheading a push for President Barack Obama's gun control proposals, dispensed this off-the-cuff tip for protecting life and property during an online question-and-answer session on Facebook on Tuesday.
The vice president has not one but two shotguns that he says he keeps in a locked cabinet at his house in his home state of Delaware, and he has given his wife, Jill, explicit instructions on how to deal with any would-be intruder.
"We live in an area that's wooded and secluded," Biden said. "I said, Jill, if there's ever a problem just walk out on the balcony here ... put that double-barreled shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house."
"I promise you whoever's coming in is not gonna," Biden said. "You don't need an AR-15 (assault rifle). It's harder to aim. It's harder to use and in fact you don't need 30 rounds to protect yourself."
"Buy a shotgun," he said, lowering his voice almost to whisper.
The vice president, who is known for sometimes telling long, personal stories in his public appearances, is pushing Obama's plan for curbing gun violence following the December school shooting massacre in Newtown, Connecticut.
But some of the proposals, including a ban on the sale of assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips, have run into stiff opposition from the influential U.S. gun lobby and their advocates on Capitol Hill.
