here is what one of the dealer-logoed temp tags look like.
I don't have a clear picture of what the piece of paper taped to the windshield looks like.
The main reason it's possible to do what my friend did was because the piece of paper that dealers stick in the windshield doesn't have an easily discernable expiration date on it (unlike most states, which use very conspicuous dates exactly for this reason). So therefore as long as it's there at all, everything looks kosher.
Georgia is another state that I know of that doesn't use dates on their temporary tags (or at least they didn't as of a few years ago). All you had to do was put one of the temp dealer logo tags on it or write "tag applied for" on a piece of paper and stick it to your car. The latter, especially on an obviously not-new car, would have a greater chance of getting you pulled over for them to make sure. But Georgia is a seriously f&*ked up state when it comes to traffic stuff (can't have profanity on bumper stickers/take you to jail for anything/suspend your license for no reason/regular cops can't give tickets -- you have to wait for a "traffic" cop to come/etc) but all that is another thread entirely
heheheh
the friend that got out of the camera ticket is also the friend that has great luck like you about tickets being dismissed. Except the time when she purposely scheduled her court date for the day before a huge holiday so that the cop would be less likely to show up. She was wrong -- he did!
Good luck with the whole ticket thing. Hopefully it gets dismissed because the camera thing is just lame. I've been lucky enough (knock on wood!) not to have gotten any speeding tickets and believe me, I speed, too. The Valentine One has saved me many, many times over its cost but I still have to be careful in those damned "speed patrolled by aircraft" zones. Grr :angel:
