Got a letter from the state police So a few weeks ago (June 16th to be exact) I headed down to the Cape for a few days. Today I got this in the mail:
Can't remember seeing anybody, it would have been near where 495 & 95 intersect. Perhaps an unmarked car? Maybe I should just put the friggin thing on.

put it here.
I had it there on my car for years.
i got pulled over one time.
cop... You know why im pulling you over?
ME... No sir, (i wanted to list off, no cats, slicks/skinnies, bad inspection sticker, etc etc, but i didnt )
cop... No front plate, you know its the law right?
ME.. I have a front plate sir
Cop.. i didnt see one
Me.. Its on the under side of the bumper if you crouch down you will see it.
Cop... that doesnt seem right
me.. well i have an expensive custom made grill with no mount so i knew i needed the front plate so i made it work best i could.
Cop, ok, i guess i cant argue that.
put on your seat belt and have a good day

There are a few scenarios when it would be helpful but not enough to require it to be a law imo.

I was being the one pursued, but either way it would be nice.
The reason is for proper identification, and it is the right of the town/state to verify if all the info is correct. I am sure that is the explaination you will get when you contact the DMV
BUT in reality this is a lawful way for an officer to pull you over and see if there is anything else going on. Just like cellphones and seatbelts, its a way of finding out/investigating.
As for the plate in the dash ive read the actual law book, it needs to be secured w/ to fasteners. Cops have allowed people to stuff them in the dash or behind the window, due to reg tags being stolen BUT in reality now we have moved to the window stickers.
