370Z Driver: No officer, why?

Texas Police Officer: You don't have a front license plate on your vehicle.

370Z Driver: Interesting, that's not against the law currently. Is there anything else you believe I'm in violation of?

Texas Police Officer: No, but I'm going to have to ask you for your license and registration.

370Z Driver: I'm sorry officer but if I'm not in violation of any state or local statutes, and you have no probable cause, I don't have to show you anything. I'll be on my way now. Have a nice day, sir.

Same thing goes for searching the inside of your car, no probable cause, say no! Believe it or not police officers are allowed to lie to get their way. This has been proven many times over from people who know the law more than the officers recording them on video. The funniest ones are lawyers in a protest, they damn near get away with anything!
worst... advice... ever...

sure u go ahead and tell a cop that "u had no reason to pull me over, and im not showing you anything". they can tell u anything. suspicious bahavior, suspicious vehicle (for having no front plate), or just because they can. then u will go from a probable warning, to having about 5 tickets coming your way for being a bag of douche, one of which will be failing to identify yourself properly to an officer.

i got pulled for it once. told him that it was already ordered and coming in next week. got off with a warning

Especially saying that to a Texas cop. Yes sir and no sir are the only correct answers here.

This is absolutely correct.

I don't run a front plate, and I'm completely aware this gives every cop that drives by the opportunity to have a discussion with me about it should he choose to. 9 times out of 10, he's just making sure I'm not reeking of booze. Once he's satisfied I'm ok, I usually get a warning. I've gotten a few tickets, and I pay them and go on with my life. The vast majority of my other traffic stops and tickets were completely justified by me doing something against the law (likely speed related), so I can't really be too upset.
