I have received tickets here in ohio, for stupid things, racing, speeding, (not in the JK). But cops here dont really care about no top and no doors.
Ohio's lawless like that, we don t have door, fender or tire coverage laws

It seems to be that some of the anger in this thread is misplaced. Police officers enforce laws enacted by elected officials. Elected officials are elected by us. Officers did not decide that doors cannot be removed. Legislators did. When civil law is based upon fundamental principles of justice (do not murder, do not steal, do not bear false witness), it has moral force as well as civil enforcement. But when laws are arbitrary and incoherent, then respect for law in general declines. We pretend to be a free society, but we have long ago accepted a level of arbitrary regulation and inconsistent enforcement that would have appalled our forefathers. The police officer is given the task of enforcing both laws concerning fundamental justice and enforcing arbitrary and sometimes inane regulation. It’s a difficult task. Most do it well. The same cannot be said for our legislators as a class.

I was out in Malvern, near Valley Forge. But shoot... Hatfield is right around the corner from where I live. GOOD LUCK, and be sure to let us all know how it goes!

Uh oh...I drive through malvern doorless almost every day. *gulp*

If I ever get a ticket for it, I'll fight it on this grounds: the inspection law states that the doors must "be functioning as originally designed." Since they were originally designed to be removable, then they are functioning as originally designed.


Hey, look me up next time you're in Malvern, and we can go get muddy...I know a few places........
