I am a CA resident and have not had a front plate on one of my cars since 1982. Only once have I received a ticket (not on my 370Z), and it was a real chickensh*t one at that. I lived in a school zone that was heavily traffic enforced and so was always very careful driving in my neighborhood. A motorcycle officer had a van pulled over and was writing a ticket. As I approached, at about 22 MPH, the cop stepped out into the street, pointed at me and then pointed at the curb in front of the van. I thought WTF, I wasn't speeding. He proceeded to write me up for no front plate. I put the plate on, got the ticket signed off, paid the fine and went home and removed the plate. No problems since, and I have had a couple of speeding infractions since then too.
