I junked my old car, and the first thing I did when I got home was bolt the plate onto the mx3. I still had the transit sticker on the back, because I hadn't been to the SAAQ to transfer the ownership over and all the other crap (as it was the weekend). I figured if a cop stopped me, I'd just politely explain that I just bought it, and had a valid transit (which I did).
Wrong.

That would be too logical.
Apparently I was "misrepresenting a vehicle" or some s---, and it got me a $270 ticket. He took my plate, so presumably I have to pay for another one. Then he let me go, as the car was mine, was licensed (with the transit) and I was insured. If I had waited 1 more day to put the plate on, all would have been fine.
He was the nicest cop I've ever met, other than that. Still frustrating though.
Should I contest it?
