Front plate law
However, if I decide someday to jab a needle in my arm full of meth or worse then I hope I am shot so my family will get the life insurance money.
Now, somebody post up about life insurance money not being given to families of drug addicts.
Back to the front license plate issue, I don't have one mounted on any vehicle I own, so far so good. Best to keep that hash pipe at home!

In case you weren't aware, I don't carry or use drugs, so this quote is irrelevant. Did I post somewhere that I'm a crack addict? Hmm, I don't believe I did.

For what it's worth, I drove my old Trans Am around for years with no front plate and my office was literally next to the county jail. No one ever said anything. Same with my old 99 Z28. Heck, we have a sheriff's deputy in our car club and he never said anything either. Run 'em with no front plates for a while and see what happens. If you get pulled over, be respectful and say you just moved from out of state and are unfamiliar with the law and didn't know you had to run both. They will usually give you a warning and let you on your way.
You're not going to get shot in the face. Hopefully...
Be a rebel and live a little.

Its a "freebie" for the cops. Oregon requires the front plate and will "tag" you for it...
Worst thing is they can at the cops description impound the car which never ends well in my experience..
I don't want to give them too easy of time pulling me over.. But all my rigs the front plate is fine so I don't really care much...

Never had a front plate in any of my F-bodies over the 10+ years I used to have them and got stopped only twice (warning both times). After F-bodies, never ran a plate for many years on any of my trucks and been stopped only twice (during the same day on my way to Houston and back) and just got warnings.
Didn't have a plate on my daughters 05 MB, either, until she got stopped for speeding and got a warning for the plate.
Guess my rebel years are now over since I've put that thing on on every car and truck I have...

Depends on where you are. I've received 2 warnings for it. I had one of those hideaway license plate holders, you could try that if you don't want holes on the front bumper. I was a cheap *** and did the manual one for $40 bucks.

I never ran a front plates on my F-Bodies. That's not to say you won't be stopped for it as it really depends on the cop, his mood, how busy he is, etc. Then it's a coin toss what he does about it, warning vs fix-it ticket.
One of my F-Bodies was cammed with long tubes, no cats w/duals dumped at the axle (illegal,) and had 5% tint all around (also illegal.) Late one night I ended stopped next to a cop on a back street and he didn't mess with me. My car was loud as hell and you could smell that it didn't have any cats. You couldn't see in the car at all due to the tint. He didn't seem to mind though and let me go on about my business.
I've only received one fix-it ticket regarding my plate and that was on my truck. It wasn't why I stopped though. It was a State Trooper to boot who are notorious for being by-the-book.
That said, I won't be running a front plate on my next toy as I see it as very low risk. The worst that can happen is you get inconvenienced by taking time out of your day to go down to the court house and pay a small fee after you prove you have a front plate on the vehicle.

In the 17 years driving my Trans Am, I've only gotten a ticket once for no front plate. But, I was stopped for speeding downtown in an obvious speedtrap/get everybody situation. Guy wasn't gonna listen at all.
My buddy has a yellow '07 Z06 and we were driving on 45 by Almeda Mall, rolling with traffic about 70ish. Pass by an undercover cop on the left and he pulls out and gets us. Speeding and no front plate. Guy was a dick and wouldn't discuss at all.
So, for the most part, cops don't give **** about no front plate, but you will get some Boy Scouts that are new or some hardasses that will write you. My one experience was take a picture of the car with the plate on, go to court and get it dismissed. Go home and plate then came back off!
