in nevada they just changed the law in october 06 that if you do not have a licnence plate braket already in the front or w/o holes they do not require you to put a plate but if you do a plate must be present.... i havent had a front plate in a LOOONG time but TLW helped me when i got my JP kit and threw in a JP front plate holder and i did have a jap plate so im rocking one of those now

Its illegal here in WA but I don't rock it.

I also got a $214 ticket for it.. and between when I got the ticket and my court date, I got pulled over for it again with just a warning.

I went to court last week and the judge asked me if it was on yet. I told him no, and that I'd put it on.

He dropped it to $95 under the circumstance that I mail in a photo of my car with the plate mounted, or drive by and show the gaurd.

My car also came without the front plate, no holes.

Yes I use it I got 5 tickets for the same thing in the matter of 2 months of owning the car. I made it worth it with Police memorial plates though. Now no more tickets.

It's pity when a cop pulls you over for no front plate. They must have nothing else to do. I usually get 3 citations along with not having a front plate. But never just for the front plate. And the court should usually just dismiss it if you bring in a picture to prove that you've put it on...I use double sided tape just for the picture.
