I agree with Derek, Even though Derek used to rock the license plate "FDA50" up here in ND back in his Squid stunts days on the pink F3 haha.
But putting "Cops lie, Cops suck, FTP" or any other stickers on your bike is just asking for the cop to throw the book in your face if you get pulled over. Maybe he did just pull you over for the horizontal plate. But maybe he had full intent on just giving you a warning. Till he walked up to your bike, seen it was a stunt bike, then seen all the "Cops Suck" stickers or whatever you got on your bike. And that instantly switch him to bad cop. Give them respect and they will give you respect.
I will agree that a 1,200 dollar fine for that is OUTRAGEOUS. But if you started an attitude with the guy or offended him with your sweet stickers, i dont blame him for giving you the full fine amount. Even though i doubt that crap will hold up in court. Unless the cop appears in court and states you were rude and disrespectful to him.
