Displaying Fictitious Plates
Displaying Fictitious Plates
Displaying Fictitious Plates is a moderately serious charge. It is a Class 2 Traffic Misdemeanor Offense and a conviction may result in a scheduled fine plus court costs and surcharges, a possible jail sentence (usually only ordered in cases where there are aggravating factors, such as injury to a person or reckless indifference to the safety of others), restitution, community or useful public service, probation for one year or longer, and other possible requirements by the court, with an assessment of 0 points to your driver’s license.
Alert to All Drivers – Requirement for Payment of Restitution
Important: Colorado law provides that “any person convicted of a Class 1 or Class 2 Misdemeanor Traffic Offense — such as Displaying Fictitious Plates — shall be required to pay restitution” to the person who incurred damages as a result of the violation. See C.R.S. § 42-4-1701. Restitution is payment to the injured party in order to make that person whole again in such a position that the person was in before the incident, and includes payment for economic damages (e.g., property damage, medical bills, or lost wages) and non-economic damages (e.g., pain and suffering, disfigurement, or loss of enjoyment of life). Be sure that you fully understand the consequences of a conviction for the charge of Displaying Fictitious Plates.
