92VR4Red is right... They can SAY that you had to get there somehow but on our cars the bracket is bolted on and they can't prove you didn't take it off in the parking lot nor can they search your car.

Also it's better not to fight the cop on the ticket when he is issuing it because there are dozens of minor offenses that they can charge you with which are difficult to fight since it's their word against yours (at best you still get a slap on the wrist).
