Default side mount plate question

Florida allow vertical mounted plates. Does anyone know if it matters if the plate reads top to bottom or bottom to top while mounted vertically? I.E. which way should I mount the plate to the bracket?

I thought florida passed that law not to long ago saying the plate had to be horizontal and centered in the rear of the bike. did they change it back already?
When I had mine i ran it top to bottom so the regi stickers were easier to read on the outside of the bike since most cops look for the stickers before your numbers. I never had a hassle with that. Best bet is to ask an officer though.
