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.

 

If its the law..its the law....I can see why fronts are needed...for the cops VS bad guys.

 

that sucks man. looks like it was just a warning though so you lucked out.

 

The officer was being nice to you....thats just a warning.

 

Oh yea...and just put your plate on the car and save yourself the hassle.....

 

my cousin got a citation today from providence police for running a redlight a couple weeks ago. it shows 3 pics of his truck and one showing his license plate

 

haha what a lazy cop. last time i went for a lil road trip i put mine on so i dont get any **** from state cops. my local cops dont seem to bother me about it.

 

in CT they ask about that stuff all the time but ive neever personally seen someone get even ticket, a warning being the worst thing.

 

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

 

send them a picture of a check

 

haha, thats is funny as hell!!!!!!

 

At least its a warning, I dont see the point of front plates.

 

Smooth talker! LOL!

 

I had a road rage incident, I would have love to see his front plate.....

 

I bought this but I havent installed it yet..
Plate mount slides underneath the front of the car..

You think your eyes would have went to his\her front plate or where you were going to go to avoid?
There are a few scenarios when it would be helpful but not enough to require it to be a law imo.

 

I have my front plate on the pass side on the dash, just for that event when i am pulled over

 

Mine is under my passenger seat.

 

mine is...oh..wait..pa doesn't have front plates...nvm

 

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.
