    Been driving without one for years in CT (law exists). I’ve been pulled over for other things but never talked to about that by cops.
    On my way back from Canada a border patrol agent asked me why I don’t have it since my state requires it. I told him I never used one and if need be I’ll just pay my fine.

    With a front license plate, it would be easier for some parking facilities where at gates, there no column for either dispensing a ticket or with a card reader for reading your card of choice as a parking ticket but only a camera positioned to only read your front license plate so any vehicle of length is supported. Also, when travelling to other countries by road such as #Canada, there would be less legal problems with having a front license plate especially when you travel to provinces such as British Columbia and Ontario. In countries such as #Taiwan, plenty of pay parking facilities are gated and don't issue any physical ticket but only scan your front license plate no matter if you're a casual visitor or a frequent customer.

    Got pulled over today lead me to this video. Now I am not on probation or have any warrants. I am an law abiding citizen. He just let me off with a warning. However I will still never put a front plate on mine. #Freedom As long as the cop has nothing on you are fine. He can check all he want it does not bother me.

    Considering they let people rent vehicles with out of state tags all over now... and people can keep their tags from other states even when they permanently live in a "front tag state," penalizing people for not having a front plate is silly as long as they have a registered back plate with proper sticker. Just a money grab.

    Good plan. I live in Maryland and theyre stupid about plates too. But I suppose if you really wanted to, you could install the plate mount and never put your plate on. Just keep the plate assembly in the car. If youre pulled over than you could say that you are just heading to or just left the car show and forgot to put it on the car. "Oh...I mustve forgot officer, here it is". Nice

      Most of my cars have a front tag and a place to put it. On my Model A I just used a stainless reartail light bracket mounted to the front center bumper bolt. It clears and doe not block the radiator or look ugly.
      On my late model Impala from Florida I just used sheet metal screws and screwed it to the upper plastic crappy bumper.
