I have not had a front plate on my cars here in CA (where it is required) since 1982. I've received 3-4 tickets for speeding during that time but never been cited for a lack of front plate. However about 10 years ago I did get a fix it ticket. I lived near a school and knew to keep my speed down as traffic enforcement in that neighborhood was pretty heavy. I was driving down the street doing about 20 in a 25 zone and could see up ahead a motorcycle patrolman had pulled over a car and was writing a ticket. The officer saw me coming, stepped out into the street and motioned me to the curb. I thought WTF ? When he was done with the other driver he wrote me a no front plate ticket which was a total chickenshit act. I put a plate on, paid the fine, took it back off and haven't had a plate on my cars since. But I also don't commit many acts to draw attention to myself to invite a ticket either. Except for the weasel motorcycle officer who was on a ticketing frenzy that day.
