RE: Cops Impounded My train!!!!
It's hard to argue with cops in SoCal. They are out looking for gangs and it sounds like you may have been profiled, but you'd need to hire a lawyer to get anywhere. Since he didn't write you up for the beenie he may have been lax in his paperwork. Try Russ Brown in the sponsors tab. He's been a California biker for years he mostly does PI work, but his office might have some recommendations for you.

RE: Cops Impounded My train!!!!
How many times did you change the story with the Officer that stopped you? Here, you said you got stopped for speed and an expired tag. THEN, you changed it, and said you had a DEALER tag on it. Was it an expired dealer tag? Or did a bud at the shop, knowing your regular plate was expired, loan you the dealer plate, hoping it would pass a quick look, so you could get home?
Either way......you knew, or damn sure SHOULD have known your plates were expired. After all, they expire the same month, Each and Every Year.

I only go for a ride if I know i'm legal.
If I speed I just say "ok, take my money judge".
People just need tobe responsiblefor their actions, plain and simple.
This thread kinda' makes me laugh.

In Cal they give you paper plates that have the dealer's name on them. They are not the same as dealer plates and have no expiration and are not evidence of payment of fees.
