i got pulled over for having mine in the windshield(top right hand) with suction cups. and got a ticket... but i fought this and won.. here you go!

Btw i am in Texas you migh what to check your laws for your state.

Texas Transportation Code section 502.404(a) requires that a motor vehicle "display two license plates, at the 'front' and rear of the vehicle." Tex. Transp. Code Ann. § 502.404(a). The code does not define the "front" of a vehicle.

In State v. Losoya, 128 S.W.3d 413 (Tex. App. - Austin 2004, pet. ref'd) the Court of Appeals decided an issue very similar to that of my callers. In Losoya, the police testified they had noticed a pickup did not have a license plate mounted on the front bumper. Instead, the plate was wedged between the dashboard and windshield. As a result, the police stopped the vehicle believing a traffic violation had occurred. At the suppression hearing the police officer added he could see the license plate in the truck's front window.

The court found the term "front" ambiguous and looked to other factors to determine the meaning of the code section. The court said:


"While a place to display the license plate is usually found on the front bumper, the statute does not expressly require the use of this location. The display of the plate in some other place or manner is not inconsistent with the language or purpose of the statute. The officers testified that they could see the license plate in the windshield. We conclude that Losoya's display of his front license plate in the manner shown here did not violate section 502.404(a) as to give the officers grounds to reasonably suspect a violation of that statute."

Yup multiple times. Just take it to a CHP station to get signed off and save yourself an extra fee.

Ive gotten a ticket for both cars that I own, the caddy and the camaro. I just pay the $10 fine and leave them off. But if your driving a modded car thats not street legal, I would put one on, cause it gives them an excuse to pull you over and get you for other stuff.
