Is it illegal to remove the front license plate in Colorado

I am seeing all the cars in here have no front license plate.
I am afraid the cop will write me a ticket if I remove it.

You'll have to check the local vehicle code.. In California it's illegal to remove the front license plate, it's also illegal to apply or install anything over the plate that will decrease it's ability to be read by a police officer.

They're both fix it tickets; $10 here when you correct the issue. It's not something you tend to get pulled over for - unless you're driving like a jackass, look suspicious, etc.. Or the cop could just be following the VC to the T.

LICENSE PLATES

Any motor vehicle owned by a Colorado resident cannot be parked or driven on a public street or highway unless it is properly registered in Colorado and displays Colorado license plates. If you own a motor vehicle, you must register the vehicle in the county in which you live. (See the county office locations in the Service Center Guide.) The signed registration card must be carried in the vehicle or in the possession of the operator whenever the vehicle is being operated. The license plates must be fastened horizontally, in a manner to prevent swinging, at a height of at least 12 inches from the ground. They must be clearly visible and kept clean and legible. Vehicles must have plates attached to both the front and rear of the vehicle.

Exceptions: Motorcycles, trailers, and semitrailers must have one plate attached to the rear, semi-tractors must have one plate attached to the front. Temporary (paper) license plates should be attached in a place clearly visible on the rear of the vehicle. Any change of address or name must be reported within 10 days to your local county motor vehicle office. If you are moving into Colorado , you must obtain new license plates within 30 days of establishing Colorado residency. (C.R.S. 42-2-107 (a)(b))
