Yup. I got pulled over awhile ago getting off work for that same reason. Pulled me over, blocking half of the street making the crowded Westwood traffic worse just for a no-front-license-plate-ticket....pretty retarded.

I f*ing hate front license plates!

And while cops go through parking garages looking for no license plates, drug dealers can sell all the drugs they want to kinds near schools!

But I'm sure after they'll finish with plates, the'll crack down on drug dealers and killers. Ah, no, wait a second... There are always those who like to drive 65 in 55 mph zone on a highway. We need to get rid of those first! It's a tough task... 20 or 30 years of fight, and those speeders are still here. But they will be dealt with soon! And then it'll be turn of killers and drug dealers, I'm sure.

Vlad (sees cops hiding in a ditch every day... wonders why doesn't those fat asses go fight crime or something)

Funny... I got snagged with one of those bogus red-light cam tickets (fought it and won), and they don't take a picture of the front place. Plenty of other angles, but not the front plate. Nice excuse though.

I bought my car used and it came from the dealer with only one plate, so I'm probably screwed as I don't have another one to put on. I tried ordering one from the DMV, but it was months ago and I can't find the invoice, but they never sent me anything that the plate was ready to be picked up.

Things I notice about Los Angeles regarding front plates:

1. West L.A. is the worst when it comes to no front plates tickets.

2. Citizens of L.A. wonder why cops can't patrol the streets effectively. (Maybe the cops should look on WTF is going on than front bumpers of cars)

3. It's a known fact that traffic citations are profitable, same with the controversial traffic cameras.

4. California Law states that the front plate has be in FIXED (can't wiggle around) and FRONT of your car. Most peace officers and city employee state bumper. Of course, you still get a ticket if its not on your bumper.

5. I just stick my little 1x5 inch new car temp tag on my front windshield, so far I been able to avoid a front license ticket. Also, I make an effort to avoid West L.A.

I gave up too....if I added all my tickets for "no front plate", I'd say close to $400.

What did it for me is when I went to DC, (I live in NoVa) and got a ticket. I'm like this is DC, not VA! It's the perfect excuse to pull you over and light you up with 4 other tickets for pure BS.
