Not in my case and I haven't run one on any of my cars in years and still get popped now and then just for that. I even got popped for having my temporary registration in my back window vs the back of my car. Which if you ask me was just the LEO being a complete asshole and probably looking at my record of tickets for no front plate? At the end of the day I know I am in violation and I have been told by some of their higher ups that its the officers discretion as to whether actually write a ticket for it. So when they do write I just chalk it up as them being an asshole.

Went for more than 30 years with no front plate and never got stopped.

Guess they have better/more important things to do around here.

Lulz. Read the bold part again and marvel at your own arrogance. "I know I did something wrong and when they punish me for it, they're the asshole".

I don't have to re-read it, I already know it.



In all seriousness man my point is on the list of things that could be ignored not having a front plate would be at the top of it in my opinion.

Can I legally dump the bag of my dogs poop in the neighbors trash can left on the street for pickup?

May be local ordinance too?

Now we'll get to the bottom of this.

I don't disagree, though I also don't know the importance of having a front plate...somebody else indicated not having one was a good indicator that they didn't have insurance or something, and if that were true, then I'd be all on board with seriously enforcing that and taking those idiots off the road.

But despite not disagreeing with you, ultimately it got written up into law, so we all have to abide by it until there is enough of a protest that they change the law.

Trash cans left on the street are open game. Hell, you can search through it too.

How about unattended garden hoses on someone's lawn? Can I just park at the curb and wash my car on their over-priced California water meter bill?????

You've got to pay to play. Water is expensive here in the state the other 49 states like to hate, but it's all good. Sorry I couldn't get a better photo. Afternoon here creates horrible lighting.

Some temporary decals.

I often stopped cars with no front plate, and it would occasionally lead to other offences, warrants etc.

My two cents, those chicken shit offences give grounds to stop and investigate. If there was nothing else a warning to get if fixed.

No guts, no glory! I stuck a non-temporary "BAD COP, NO DOUGHNUT" bumper sticker on the back of a friend's unmarked police car many years ago.....

In some counties in some states, they have begun taking away traffic stops for minor infractions. Basically those democratic areas are signaling to the people - by way of their actions - that they don't want criminals off of the street and truly do not want laws enforced……all under the veil of "traffic stops and enforcing laws where blacks reside is inherently racist."

I read recently that speed laws in black areas are racist as well as hospitals. It truly has gone down the rabbit hole.

This is happening in many places. I saw something just a while back maybe Sedan_Clan posted it, but if I recall traffic fatalities were up in black communities as a result of this lack of enforcement.
