Cop says my hitch rack is illegal because it obstructs my License plate.

Got a ticket this morning on way home from early ride. "obstructing License Plate"?

He told me I have to mount the plate on the rack when using it. he said it is more prevalent when the hitch is in the upright position.

this is a very popular rack design in various forms and multiple companies?

what gives?

sounds like some bs to me. I never ask tough questions when a cop is in my ear so I didnt explore it more. thank you sir may I have another.

Translation= cop was bored and had too much time on his hands.

This being SoCal, I think it's all about revenue.

This, thats all it is
