$85 ticket for display of plates violation. Luckily when this happened to me they threw out the ticket when I put the plate covers in the recycling at the police station. Cited the penal code. Omitted point A because that's about registration tags
§ 31-3-18 Display of plates – Penalties:
(b) Every registration plate shall at all times be securely fastened in a horizontal position to the vehicle for which it is issued so as to prevent the plate from swinging at a height of not less than twelve inches (12") from the ground, measuring from the bottom of the plate; in a place and position to be clearly visible and shall be maintained free from foreign materials and in a condition to be clearly legible.

How much did the replacement plate cover you put on later that day cost …?

I didn't. I just screwed the plates to the bumper. After being stopped 6 times without a ticket I figured they ran their course. I did however use the stainless steel screws and screw caps that came with the plate covers
