So with my roommate out of town for a bit I've been taking his Vespa to work (and winning pit bike races on it). Its plated, fully registered, insured, and inspected. Today I got a ticket for parking on the sidewalk. I know it is completely illegal, and am not arguing the fact I got a ticket, but why didn't the 4 other scooters parked within 5 feet of me get a ticket? Only thing I can think of is the fact that they were not plated. I saw one was a 125, and I believe the law is anything over 50cc needs a plate, so obviously the meter maids aren't looking to carefully.
If the plate is the reason why, anything stopping me from removing the plate when I park? Or hell, just removing it all together, putting it under the seat, and saying it fell off at the very rare occurrence that I get pulled over?
