Wild guess...user error?

Not by this techno-ninja. I started the vid and the sound was all messed up, then the machine re-booted. I suspect Goduc embedded the dreaded Moto2011 worm in the image some where.

Oh, HAPPY BRITHDAY!

Goduc knows I'm kidding, right?

Anyone  [moto] PJ's @ 10?

I'm in...  [moto]

I may see you SBK riders on my way back from Santa Fe. Headed out solo, early for breakfast, to Counterculture in Santa Fe. 2nd st and cerillos rd. i should be there by 10ish back to CAD by 1130ish if anyone is still around, or cares

Was good to see you there...never mind all the other hooligans  .
Tony collected a record 4 tickets in one stop. They told him
they will ticket people that relocated their license plates to a location
where they can't be readily seen hence the stop.
Was just a bit cool up on the Crest @ 35 F but enjoyed hanging with Stew and Tara.

The license plate is one ticket.  What were the other three?

I hope Tony has the time and resources to dispute that particular ticket if the tag is relocated but still easily viewable and within the law.  I've read the statute (NM 66-3-18) and the only requirements are that the tag be fixed in a horizontal position from which it is clearly visible and at least 12" from the ground measured to the tag's bottom.  Basically, you can't intentionally try to obscure it nor turn it short edge down.  Was his plate tucked under the fender or something, 'cause the statute doesn't say you have to use a factory tag bracket?

I, personally, don't have any desire to move my plate or make it difficult to read for purposes of fleeing The Man, but I believe that a vehicle's owner should have the discretion to move the tag for aesthetic reasons if he chooses to, and that is entirely within the bounds set out in the statute.

For reference, here's the text of the law:

A.  The registration plate shall be attached to the rear of the vehicle for which it is issued; however, the registration plate shall be attached to the front of a road tractor or truck tractor.  The plate shall be securely fastened at all times in a fixed horizontal position at a height of not less than twelve inches from the ground, measuring from the bottom of the plate.  It shall be in a place and position so as to be clearly visible, and it shall be maintained free from foreign material and in a condition to be clearly legible.
B.     Temporary demonstration plates and temporary permits shall be firmly affixed to the inside left rear window of the vehicle to which it is issued, unless such display presents a safety hazard or the temporary permit is not visible or readable from that position, in which case, the temporary permit shall be displayed in such a manner that it is clearly visible from the rear or left side of the vehicle.
C.     No vehicle while being operated on the highways of this state shall have displayed either on the front or the rear of the vehicle any registration plate, including tab or sticker, other than one issued or validated for the current registration period by the department or any other licensing authority having jurisdiction over the vehicle.  No expired registration plate, tab or sticker shall be displayed on the vehicle other than an expired special registration plate which may be exhibited on the front of the vehicle.
D.     Nothing contained in this section shall be construed as prohibiting the use of a promotional or advertising plate on the front of the vehicle.

  Thanks Scott, this helps everyone and we know the law now!
