In California, we have a front plate law but I don't think many have been pulled over just for that...wondering how many states are really hard nosed about this

 

I think it's more like "Which city is hard nosed about..."

In San Francisco, I got pulled over by CHP for window tints and no front license plate driving on FWY 101. This was on my previous car.

But In Los Angeles (I drive all over LA county and OC county), I haven't been pulled over for not having my front plate yet. Too many ppl w/o front plates, I guess. But there are those unlucky ones that are getting ticketed for no front plates. My friend recently got ticketed by a metermaid in Hollywood for not having her front plate.

Guess it depends on the city/ area and how many non-front platers are there in that city/ area.

So, how much royalty are you raking in a month, Pat???

 

Haven't had a front plate on my 3000GT for over 4 years in WA state without a problem. WA eliminated front tabs awhile ago, but still require a front plate. But it isn't enforced as far as I can tell.

 

I got pulled over for no front plate in my mustang about a year ago. It was just for no front plate. No other reason. It was obviously a rookie cop with his training officer, and he was just going through the motions.
