This is regarding the front license plate.
In what situation would the police officer actually cite the violation if the car has no front plate?
And what actions should the owner take after he or she is cited if the owner purchased the car without the front plate, or the owner cannot find the front plate?
What is the significance of the front plate? Why do some states require it and some don't?
I'm asking this b/c I just got a citation recently and cannot find my plate anywhere...

ya, ive been pulled over twice. And the cops have been kind enough to let me go both times (i believe it might have something to do with my baby face and kindness). They usually pull me over for something small, burned tail light etc... then they check out if you look suspicious or if you look like ur on some illegal substance. both times they could have pinned me for numerous things. ive also noticed if your kind to the cop and you speak the truth, they return your kindness.....plus i usually drive a 1990 jeep so i dont look to suspicious.

The ones in the front are mostly there to capture the person driving the car. Dumbass.

I know the area I drive in, I know a few that do and a few that don't there is an intersection near my house that I hit when I go to the gym at 4 am. If I am the only car there, nothing with get it to pick me up and give me a green, So I wait till its safe and run it.
Second the san diego area has at least half dozen lights that I can think of that ONLY capture the front of a car.
your just thinking of all the money the city and state could be extracting from me that they are loosing out on.
Another thing that cops rarley know that has gotten me out of a red light ticket (I pled not guilty and won). If a light cycles 3 times and doesn't give your side a green, its legal to wait till its safe and go.
DUMBASS I have watched the camera flash on me half a dozen times, I pull my hat down so it doesn't get my face, and boom no ticket in the mail.

Why not just get BNR stage 3 twins, they are capable of 420 whp, and they pass the visual.

Fuman: why do you always have ugly *** avatars?? wait. was it supposed to be a police-related question??
seriously: Is it legal to have a megaphone mounted to the car so I can yell ( without CURSING!
) at the retard drivers who almost kill me. I'm thinking of installing it under the hood by the foglight hole.
