You only have to have one mirror in Texas, so with your doors off your rear view mirror suffices.

I guess we will see how the cops of southern MD are today because I will be taking the doors off soon and haven't relocated the mirrors yet.

As stated before, doorless in MS is fine. Just need to have one mirror that you can see something like 250 ft behind you.....mirror on the windshield works (or atleast that is what I have been told).
Law enforcement usually waves or nods.

Doorless
I am a Cop and have been for 10 years now . I have never nor would I ever stop somebody for not having the jeep doors off of the jeep in which they are driving. The vehicle is designed to have the doors off when weather permits. This cop that wrote this completely unnecessary ticket is probably a retarded ass rookie that is trying to use his badge as a show of power and if I was his Sgt. I would put his ass on foot patrol faster than you could spit. I will apologize on behalf of law enforcement around the country for this ticket it isn't much but at least someone has said it. I go doorless all the time and will post pics along with this post. Now that being said if you dont have mirrors on with out doors you are a danger to yourself and other so please buck up and buy some after market mirrors. God Bless SWAT524
