No license plate warning(s) - Washington drivers

Just a heads up for ya - Washington State police enforcement "cracking down" on WHATEVER THEY CAN GET. With the economy as is - "no money coming in and too much going out" - verbatim from Seattle police officer that was kind enough to stop me the guy was kewl about it, just told me to put the license plate back on or at least leave it on the passenger dash. Then he said "badass car" and drove off haha

My 3rd warning... license plate's going back on

Please refrain from putting 2 holes in your front bumpers. Think about the car, c'mon. If you get a fix it ticket, just double-side tape it, go to the station, then remove when you get home.

Thanks for the heads up Eric ... it's why mine stayed on the whole time (plus the scratches frm the plate mount being there )

When it comes to front license plates, I think I have worser luck than Eric. My bumper has 3 holes for the license plate WTF!!

And since I got my car (5 months ago), already got ticketed twice already for no front plate, so yeah had to put it back on. Haterrs

Washington State cops are really cracking down on this. Late this summer, I got a ticket, yes an actually ticket (not fix it ticket either) for not having a front plate on my Legend.

I went to court, and the Judge didn't even budge. Both the cop and the judge said they're going to stop giving fix-it tickets for front plates.

That doesn't sound too bad as he told you to put in on your dash. Out here in Cali I've gotten no front plate tickets for puting on the dash and even no front plate tickets in my own driveway facing towards my house.

I had a parking enforcement give me a ticket for not having a front plate ($35). I wasn't there when he was writing it else I would have told him to chow my hog (I hate parking enforcement).

I haven't had any cops stop me yet. I'm leaving to Mississippi next weekend anyways and they don't require a front plate down there (probably because everyone rocks the confederate flag on the front). Just hoping I don't get crap when rolling through Cali.
