Exactly why they should say "no more front plate."

The cost the state could save from producing that extra plate could easily be out towards much better things...like education children.

I've passed a few officers recently even travelling higher than the speed limit and not pulled over yet. Knock on crotch. I never had a front plate on my Supra or Corvette. Was only ticketed once for not having a front plate. In that instance I was pulled over for going 3 mph over the speed limit.

It's not crap. It's the law regardless if you agree with it or not. That is the chance you take when not running a front plate or not abiding by any law. You're aware of it, don't complain if it's enforced against you. The police are there every month, it should come to no surprise people were getting stopped for it.

Yes explain to me how we baited people to show up with no front plate on their car.... I am willing to bet there were almost no tickets for front plate given. Prolly just letting people know they will be enforcing it once again. But your right plano pd hosted c&c just so they could pull people over for no front plate you figured it out. Good thing you were too busy with your dog so you didn't get baited into the trap.

Ryan, please do not stop drug dealers coming and going from their crack houses any longer. You're entrapping them, you pig.

Ryan is it true that Corvettes do not have to have a front plate?

I can answer that without being an officer. Corvettes are just as much a car as anything else and just as required to have a front plate. I had my Corvette for over 5 years and was never pulled over for that reason alone. Most officers from my own personal experience were very cool with me not using one. Never even mentioned it except for one occasion. I've had my unfair share of profiling and blatant harassment from cops but it appears they have other things to worry about than front plates whether or not I was in the wrong or not. But with this law "changing" that may change. Who knows?

I really don't see why front plates are such a BFD. You're issued two and are required to display both. If you don't like it get a ticket or get a bracket that either hides it or allows for easy removal at shows. Is it not a fix it ticket anyways?

wish having a plate in the windshield was good enough.

Safety hazard.

And for the record, I never saw the response I got from my comment.

Ryan is obsessed with my dog, apparently.

Didn't know that Plano PD hosted Cars and Coffee either.

It took over two months for me to be stopped for no front plate on my car. And it was a state trooper that did so. Just for a warning. So if city police cared to waste their time on that, I would've gotten pulled over a long time ago.

safety hazard?? LOL id rather make a winshield banner with my licence plate number on it than put a plate on the front of my car. wouldnt be so bad if the plate looked like it belonged on the car but they dont.

You get in a wreck, thin piece of metal becomes a flying guillotine.
