for the DD definatley going to keep both on there … but honestly on the vette it looks dumb as hell to ahve a front plate on. i keep it in the car but this is a blue collar town and i shoulden’t see a problem hopefully (crossesv fingers) … now with the civic every single time a cop saw no front plate i got pulled over. ---

:word: i do the same thing with the cobra…i keep the plate in the car, but thats about it. they’re isn’t even a place to mount the plate on my car unless i drill the bumper out and that definately won’t happen. the popo has never pulled me over for the plate either (knocks on wood), but they have for the exhaust and whatever else they could find wrong 😃 ---

> [@POOPRA](#): > > Ive gotten tickets for both before at the same time, I doubt its saving you anything. It gives cops a excuse to pull you over even if you havent done anything which I rather not deal with. If you roll through a town like angola, kenmore, village of hamburg with a small police force that enforces everything your going to get a ticket for front plate if you have been speeding or not. Yep I have had no front plate been doing under limit and gotten pulled over and asked about it. It is more of a reason for them to eff with you ---

i haven’t been pulled over for the front plate (knocks on wood), but have been pulled over for speeding and rolling stops, only to get tickets for such things as expired inspection, no front plate, etc… and now i can add loud exhaust to my list of scapegoats from points on my license… ---

My dad actually got a No Front Plate **Parking** ticket at the Outlet mall in the Falls. He came back to his car and found it on the windshield. I told him to put the plate on and go back to the NFPD, when he got there, they told them that the ticket was a parking ticket and not a “equipment Failure” ticket, so returning in 24hours with the “equipment” fixed did not do anything for him. So total scam by the cops there if you ask me. x… ---

This theory works, and works well. Been doing this several years, gotten out of almost every single one. :tup: ---

But it might have been the reason they threw the ticket out when I showed up in court with the plate on. ---

> [@newman](#): > > until i told the officer that i had 10 points on my license (not true) and that another ticket would result in me losing it. So he came back with a NFP ticket and told me to be on my way… You are asking for trouble. Especially in this day and age when every police cruiser has a computer, and they can easily pull up your record and see exactly how many points are on it. Why would you lie about that and take that kind of risk? ---
