Just curious.

Here in MD it's required by law. I just saw an ass cop pull a u-turn to chase after a nice-looking RSX-S that I noticed didn't have a front plate (and I assume that's what he went after him out of his way for.

 

got me a ticket in california last month

cop flipped a bitch and pulled 4 cars over to get me on a one lane street. i also got tints, expired tags and a warning for 55+ in a 35 visually estimated

 

Nope!

 

HOw dark is your tint on the fronts?

 

you can see thru easily i think 25%?

the chp signed me off tho, they said that the cops in my area are overly assholish

 

I highly doubt thats why he went after him. Here in PA we don't need a front plate and I often drive into MD and have never had a problem.

 

it's required in MD so I wouldn't be suprised if that was the reason.

 

Yea im well aware of that.........

Do you actually think that a cop would pull a U-turn with out lookin in his mirror and seeing that the guy has AZ plates. They guy probably did something else wrong, or the cop was after someone else. As I stated before I often drive in MD and have passed lots of cops and have never had a cop pull a U-turn.

 

i've had it happen to me for no front plate on 2 occasions, the cop made complete turn arounds. Finally after a dozen no front plant and front tint tickets I put on my front plate and took off my front tint

 

I think you are misunderstanding what im saying. Drivers in AZ and PA don't have front plates, which are the two states in question for driving in MD. I said that if a cop see's that I have a PA plate he isn't going to pull me over for not having a front plate.

You are from CA where front plates are required so I can see why they pulled you over for not having one

 

Actually you're confused.

I was asking about AZ since i might be moving out there soon.
I was talking about MD because that's where I live and the cops are assholes about no front plate.

If I get a new car soon I want to get one without a front plate and bracket marring the looks of the vehicle. So if I get a new car while still in MD I will run the risk of getting a ticket but I wanted to make sure I'd be running the risk for a reason - that AZ doesn't have a front plate needed when I get to AZ.

 

I think you misunderstood the whole topic of the thread

 

I am willing to admit that you are right and I am an IDIOT

 

Need on in NJ too.....

 

i took my front plate off right when i got my car...im in CA by the way..i've never had a problem yet..and the car looks so much nicer without the front plate..and besides...my mom doesn't have one either so if i get a ticket...i'll just say i thought it was ok cuz mommy didn't have one >=)

 

I have never seen a cop let someone off, based on ignorance

 

they usually go after fixed up cars, i'm the only one in the whole family out of all the cars to have one.

 

just say you took it off to get the car detailed

 

I moved from NY to CT, and a front plate is optional in CT, which I was pretty happy about. CT = lower insurance + no front plate

 

My friend from NY hated having a front plate on his car, so he damaged the front plate as well as the holder before taking it off. When he got pulled over, he showed the broken holder and plate to the cop and said that earlier someone had bumped his car and the plate fell off. Cop let him go with a warning. Worked for him twice he said
