Sucks. Sorry to hear it Cory. Knock on wood, I haven't gotten in trouble for no front plate yet. I believe it IS supposed to be on your bumper.

Still have not seen where it states you must have it on the front, just that you must have a front and rear. Just like a tow truck or other rigs, they are not on the furthest back of the vehicle.

Well, i have had HELL when i had it in my factory tint with suction cups, so i moved it to the bottom and had no issues. One time i did have a officer tell me it had to be on the front and i corrected him and said you only have to have one, not that it has to be mounted all the way in the front, he did not argue with me.

I got more tickets with a rader detector than without one. After awhile i got cocky and had the mindset that "if its not going off then no cops are around me." That thing cost me alot of money. Now i watch EVERYTHING like a hawk. **** radar detectors! lol

I actually got pulled over the other day for improper display of license plates. I asked the DPS officer and he told me that it needs to be clearly visible from the front of the car, and they "prefer" it to be on the front bumper. I had mine jsut slide between the glass and dash and not suction cupped up. I asked if i suction cupped it to the window so its alittle more clear, If that would sufice. He said aslong as its clearly visible from the front.

lol You wish Texas' laws were more like California's? Would you rather have to pay a small $45 ticket for no plate, or have to deal with ridiculous emissions, and the ridiculous amount of **** you get from cops for doing anything at all to your car?

Good joke. Luckily Texas is nothing like "Cali".

****....Try 130 in a 65.. 3.a.m. coming back from a Meet in Houston... got a warning for that...The F-Body god was with me that night and kept me out of cuffs, cop was real cool about it too simply for the fact that when I popped over the overpass at 130 and seen him sitting there, knew he had me, I gave up and pulled over as soon as I could...just told me to slow it down and to go home...

6 months later, got the cam in with the nitrous and tuned....giving my buddy a ride on the gas..again, about 4a.m. same cop in the same place but this time it was 160 in 65....didn't stop that time, went straight home car's in the garage, 3 hrs later, there's the cop at my door with two other cops, (which happened to be my cousins)..got a nice fat stack of tickets that night... both cousins told me at a family function the following weekend only reason I didn't go to jail was because he could not prove I was the one driving, but got the tickets since the car is registered to me so there fore I was responsible for it being on the road...
