Fellow Mustang buddy of mine at work today said he got pulled over for no front plate and that they are enforcing it as of today. Weird cause I had to take the scenic route to work due to gay construction on 820 and passed at least 4 cops on Davis and no one pulled me over.

Some are probably more prone to pull over a Mustang then others. I've passed many police since Sept 1 and not a problem. Even say at a light beside and facing one with no issues.

Some cops just see Mustang and profile, unfortunately....

Most cops won't pull you over for it just depends on the situation but yes one is required

It will be just like it was before where they will just use it as a reason to pull you over and only rookies and assholes will actually give you a real ticket for it. pnus.

I ordered one of the no drill brackets. Don't want to chance getting a $200 ticket. I know several people that got tickets this week and that was the only reason they got pulled over.

I'm gonna try what I did for the past 3 years on my trucks. Put the back one on but on the front I just left the little dealer plastic plate thing, so from the front it looks like I just bought it and from the back shows the real plate

If your going to have something there anyway why not just put the plate....

As weird as it sounds I prefer the look of the dealer things compared to the real plates. Plus it makes me feel like I'm still driving a month old car(same reason I never remove the airbag warning tag on the glovebox)

I have yet to be pulled over for no front plate or even asked about it when i was pulled over since owning the car last november. Hell, i've even been pulled over for a license plate bulb out when the cop followed me out of the bar, but he never once asked about no front plate. They don't even ask me about my 5% tinted windows.

Call it luck, but it seems most cops dont care.

The law was not enforceable for the past two years due to a goof by the government. They fixed the goof this last session and the law went back into effect September 1st. That's why they didn't say anything.

The law was enforceable, not the fine. They put the fine back into the law effective 9/1.

a law cannot be enforced if there is no punishment, there for the law was not enforceable. When trying to change the wording of the law back in 2011 they forgot to put the punishment back into the law, thus making there no punishment for not having a front plate making the law not enforceable. There was still a law on the books that you had to have a front plate but with no punishment a defense attorney could argue that the officer could not enforce that law due to no punishment so if that was the reason for the stop anything found after that would be what is called fruits of the poisonous tree and would then be thrown out as well. This is why most departments advised officers not to use it as cause for a stop until the law was fixed. They fixed it this last legislative session and it now has a punishment, max fine $200.
