License Plate Ticket

I remember someone posting that the police were cracking down on "tucked" license plates....well,I got my ticket on Saturday. I got pulled over by TWO cop cars no less. One was behind me and one ran up to my side. I was like,"What the fuck?", The cop comes up to me,I already had my helmet off and my license, reg paper and ins card out.
Cop,"Do you know why I pulled you over this evening?"
Me, "Nope.."
Cop,"Your license plate is blocked by your tire".
Me,"Really?"

So he goes back to his car and takes literally 15 minutes to write this ticket.

Anyway,long story short,I call the circuit court and ask if I can move my plate and have the ticket dismissed,in NC this is a misdemeanor and you HAVE to go to court (FUCK THAT!). The girl tells me to bring the ticket to the district attorney's office. I go down there and they take a copy of my registration card and tear the ticket up. Apparently,the cops have been writing a TON of these tickets and some guy beat it in court because of the way the law is worded so the court is dismissing them ALL.

You'd think someone would tell the cops.....
