ATTN MINNESOTA RIDERS! New law re license plate mounting

The State Patrol has tired of reading swingarm-mount plates, especially curved vertical-mounts, so effective August 1, Minn. Stat. 169.79, Subd. 7 will be modified as follows.

I'm no lawyer, but I can bet the cops will be lined up outside Renegades, Fatboys, etc. with a ticket book. (Also not sure how this would apply to non-MN bikes headed through MN for Sturgis travel). Word in the sportbike groups is that they are already seeing enforcement of this law near the U of M Campus.

ABATE Minnesota, any action on this????

Subd. 7. Plate fastened and visible. All plates must be (1) securely fastened so as
25.21to prevent them from swinging, (2) displayed horizontally with the identifying numbers
25.22and letters facing outward from the vehicle, and (3) mounted in the upright position.
The
25.23person driving the motor vehicle shall keep the plate legible and unobstructed and free
25.24from grease, dust, or other blurring material so that the lettering is plainly visible at all
25.25times. It is unlawful to cover any assigned letters and numbers or the name of the state
25.26of origin of a license plate with any material whatever, including any clear or colorless
25.27material that affects the plate's visibility or reflectivity.
