Yeah, exactly. In hindsight, I realized my son would get pulled over regularly. They tagged him once for no front plates. But then he would speed and do many other less desirable things, as well as had a 20" muffler (just kidding) and had his SC lowered. He may have gotten pulled over 20 times but only got one ticket. In fact, he relished getting pulled over and getting out of a ticket. Once, he texted me the below image once after getting pulled over in his SC400 by the Forest Service while doing donuts and racing in Angeles National Forest.
So, I still haven't installed front plates. As I work at a County building, I often park near or next to law enforcement. One LA County Sheriff I know was parking at the same time as me. I thought of this thread and asked him about front plates.
He said that in the 20 years he's been an LA County Sheriff deputy, he's not once pulled anyone over for a front plate violation. He also has a C4 Vette and wouldn't dare drill holes in the front bumper, but that's just him. He did go on to say that the most likely LE officer to pull someone over is highway patrol. Though even then, they'd probably not cite you for the plates, but would look for something else first.
I'll keep my plate in the trunk.
Thanks, all!
As I stated previously, this is truly a BS violation that really isn't even worth doing unless there's some other egregious obvious violation. Couldn't be bothered myself... There were days when I never wrote ANY violations... Gave more breaks than issued unless I got a ration of *****.
