Portland oregon parking attendant cited me $80 for no front license plate.
The enclosed citation was issued on my 69th birthday exactly 5 minutes before I returned to my car from my birthday lunch at the VQ. I was flabbergasted at the citation‼
I purchased my vehicle in February 2009 from a used car dealer in Tigard. That dealer did not provide me with license plate frames or license plates. He did not inform me that both plates are required by code nor has anyone else informed me of this requirement.
The past 7 years I have not had a front license plate because I did not know one was required on the front of a vehicle and I did not have a plate frame. Since police officers stop vehicles from behind they read the rear license plate. It is common sense they don't read the front plate. I have had 2 moving violations in the past 6 years and the police officers did not inform me or cite me for no front license plate. Thus, I never knew one is required.
citation is based on City of Portland Title 16 Ordinance 165189
How can I have this taken off my record??
