Default Florida vertical tag fine?

Headed to Daytona this wed. Been hearing a lot about this massive fine for vertical tag mount. Does anybody know how hard they are looking for this? Should i flip mine horizontal? There's got to be tons of these there on bike week!!

The law banning vertical tags in FL was repealed last year.

what officers look for and ticket most times are:
1-raising of either wheel..wheelies/stoppies.
2-super loud pipes..those people that rap and rap their pipes.
3-once stopped they look for proof of $10,000 insurance if you are NOT wearing a helmet.
You can show your medical insurance card for number 3..
No motorcycle endorsement can cause bike to be towed and possible ride to station.
**eye protection is mandatory..sun glasses or clear glasses at night...

If your bike is registered in a state were a vertical mount is legal, and you go in a state were it is illegal can they still get you?

They shouldnt and any cop who writes the ticket should lose his job for the undue harassment and waste of your time and money. Just my .02 worth.

Daytona is my stompin' grounds. Yes, the Police ARE pulling you over for Vertical Tags and especially Loud Pipes.
It's not so much the Police pushing this agenda, but the Government-heads. Cops get their barking orders from City/County Leaders.

So be on the lookout.

See you at Daytona.
