I don't have one and have never been pulled over for it. I have been pulled over for other things and the cop mentions the no front plate but they have never done anything about it.

Never had a problem. I havent had front plates since i was 16. Thats been almost 5 yrs now. It helps that i have an Illinois State Police license plate bracket and my plates say: ISP 2566 For Illinois state police and the 4 digit id number. Never recieve any tickets that way. Ive been pulled over a lot because i simply have a lead foot but they think im on there side so they look the other way.

Illegal not to have one in the state of IL. It's up to the officers discretion, they can get you or not.
If you get a parking ticket for no front plate in Chicago you're fucked. You could show up for the hearing and it won't matter. $50 dollar fine.
BTW, you can't just slap it on temporarily with tape or velcro it on, must be affixed to the vehicle. Lot of guys place it on the air dam, technically that isn't the place for it so you can still get a ticket for that even.
Never park it on city property (always a business or private lot/driveway) and you should be ok. If you get pulled over, just tell the truth (and be polite) more than likely they'll let you slide on that one.

I took the plate back off the car the same day. I also got multiple written warnings from forest preserve *********. All with the same, "this goes into your record and next time you will recieve a ticket for it rahter than a warning" but I never did get any tickets from them. those are the only times I've had any problems. even the drunk driver/seatbelt saftey checkpoints I've not been hassled. I've not run a front plate on any cars I've had for the most part since 1997.
if your too stupid to wear it you deserve to die in an accident, whats next, mandatory 5 point harness and helmet for street driving?
mandatory retrofiting of side airbags?
all these damn "for your safty" laws are getting out of hand, thats what survival of the fittest is all about, no wonder the earths population is booming so bad, they jsut wont let the stupid people die like they would if the rules werent around.

im not doubting your statistics i already know that, my point was simply your personal safty should be up to you, not big brother.
i feel under the age of 18 safety belts shoud be law, just because they are under an adults responsability (for the most part at least) where as 18 or older if your to stpid to wear a seabelt, the world is much better off without you
yes i dont have much hope for the majoraty of humanity anymore, and the fact that they feel the need for common sence laws is direct proof of why

I refuse to put on my front plate. Every time I get pulled over, I just tell the officer that the liscense plate bracket was on back order from the dealer. I've gotten off with a warning everytime.

stone part is the worst hands i know 4 people that have gotten tickets one of them got one and then another next day again... they love the no front plate and seatbelt $75 for either.... and they dont care who you are of any excuse you have you will get the ticket.... this is between (64) north ave and lake street cause station is right between there and they are always there so avoid it cause if they are in sight you will get one....
