Good eye BruceK, I missed that when I read it. But I think it may offer an 'out' for some car owner with a sharp lawyer for getting a summons dismissed--so don't nobody tell the Wash State Judiciary.

I think this statute was likely written by an _mannered, _literate, lawyer trying to _luminate an _licit process for obtaining _legitimate fines from an _fated car owner, who not knowing his plates were _legal, was given a summons by an _humoured patrol officer trying to stuff the Washington state coffers with _gotten gains. The _logical thought process of this is enough to give me an _ness!
