The cop that pulled me over was just being a dink (no typo). He even checked my tint. I think it had to with it being Aurora, I'm sure I'd get pulled over more often if I were there more.

Again, it's a subjective call, but it is in the HTA:

All the cop has to say is that he had a hard time reading your plate. Sucks, but that's the way it is.
