I was given a warning twice (the first time I wasn't even told by officer that he had given me a warning for no front tags) I found out when I was pulled over the 2nd time specificly because the officer saw that I wasn't ruining front tags and mentioned to me that it was my second time. I ziptied the tags onto the grill afterward until just recently when I deleted the front grill. As long as the cop isn't able to see the front and the back of your car within that moment in time they won't pull you over. When I was pulled over the 2nd time, cop and I came to stop at a red light right next to each other I then realized that he started to look at the front of my car. Next thing you know light turns green and he turns his lights on.

So happy I live in Pennsylvania, land of no front license plates. Plus I've registered the vehicle at my Mom's house so I don't need those pesky emissions done (her county is emissions free) either.

I think if I had to put the plate on, the only option would be the tow hook license plate holder.

On a side note, with all the technology out there, I think it's time to ditch license plates altogether and go the RFID route.

So Mr Hit and Run Witnesses did you get a plate number?
Yes, my personal RFID reader said it was XXX 1234!

Not once in the three times I have had to deal with hit and runs has a single person got a license plate.

Well I got one of them once, too bad it was a stolen plate that didn't match the vehicle type.

"Dealer was supposed to install front plate bracket and didn't, parts are on order... "

That is my excuse, but haven't been bothered once by it.

How do you get away with a lie? Usually cops know when you're lying!

I got a $75 ticket for no front plate while parked in Denver, ordered the Perrin tow hook kit for the same amount that afternoon. No chance to BS about 'parts on order' if you're not there when the write it up, and I think it looks kinda cool off to the side like that.

We don't get tickets without being present (parking infractions excluded). "Due Process" is what I've been told my a fellow friend/cop of mine
