Its just idiots ruining it for the rest of us. The cop seemed like he didn't like the rule when he was telling me about it, but when you have dummies driving around with no plates at all, eventually somebody above you is gonna make you put a stop to the problem. I think that's what happened down here. Like I said, no biggy for me though, I don't really mind.

Wow 3 of us on here from little ol' Tyler.

One way or another I'll have the front plate on if/when I get the car next week. Like being able to drive past officers knowing they have no reason to pull me over! Also my Dad is a Tyler officer so another reason not to get stopped. Lol

I'm in Texas. I'm going to go without it.masked the dealer not to put the bracket on my new car. If they want to pull me over they can pull me over. Eventually I may have to put it and pay a small fine until then it will be in the garage.

Yeah I told them to not put it on either. Just don't want the holes. Always had cars with the holes drilled. Not this time. Want something easily removable.

I'm Arlington also .. it's not a small fine anymore - it's now $200. The local LEO I might worry about is Panego and DWG !

Cops love paluxy for sure. So yea it would be smart to have both for you if you drive that daily. They love paluxy and the freaking intersection at the loop and Broadway. Motor jocks are always there! But I guess I just don't see the problem with a front license plate. I love Texas, and if they require a front plate to live here in this great state, that's fine with me. I've just never seen a car and thought "man that car would look awesome if it didn't have that front plate". Lol. I just feel like if your car is nice, it will look nice with a license plate as well you know?

Yea ever since I got this car, I've been driving fast without really noticing. It just pulls hard at all time. So I don't need to give them any more reason to pull me over and give me a ticket. But yea If daddy finds out your in trouble. I'm 22, 6,2", and 230lbs, but I'm still a little scared of my dad. Lol.

Yeah I miss the V8 power. Why Im trying to go to the Camaro. Had 04 GTO for 6 years before someone totaled it. Im about to be 25 but usually when my dad hears I got stopped from me or a coworker he just shakes his head.

Haven't been stopped in longgg time but that may change if next week works out!

New York loves pulling you over for no front license plate. Got pulled over 3 times. Decided I might as well put it back on

I was on the thruway today heading up to windham mountain, and on the way home there were a ton of cops all over, I thought for sure I would get pulled over, but so far so good! I might get one of those front plate adapters or something. I didn't want holes in the front.

You must be lucky

Here in Roc the cops sit in the u-turn on the highway and wait for you. It's like they see me coming a mile away
