I would. You have a 2013 boss. You're more likely to get pulled over for having such a badass car.

As much as I hate it, that's why I run the front plate. It's ugly, but at least I don't have to worry about being stopped. It's the law, nothing I can do about it so I just roll with it.

Though, our Mach has never had a front plate on it in the 11 years we have owned it and never once been stopped for no front plate on it. I think it really comes down the department and the individual officer.

If a cop really wants to pull you over he will find a reason. I can follow any car for less than a few min and they will make some kind of mistake. No front plate just makes it happen sooner lol

et streets are technically street tires, are they not? so that's doesn't seem like a valid point.

I was doing 80 on I30 through downtown FW last night, and then noticed a FWPD officer in the lane next to me a couple of cars back. Thought to myself, "Oh Shit.", slowed down to about 70, he pulled behind me and I watched him run my plates. after about 20-25 seconds, he exited for I35 south. Guess one ticket was fine with him for not giving me another.

No neither of them even looked. They just wrote the ticket up. I got stopped again on the way back for no front plate again this time a DPS he just gave me a warning though. Im putting that ugly thing back on lol.My friend following me got stopped in his C6 and was given a ticket for tinted tail lights and speeding. He walked to the front of his car and he doesn't have a front plate but he didn't write him up for that.

wow, that's lazy ass "police" work.

to be told to tell it to the judge when you dont know what you're doing...pathetic. i have great respect for cops but this type of "police" work does nothing but clog up the system with bullshit.

Default Front license plate Bill

Any news on the status of this bill? I've had to deal with this crap for over 3 years and would love to not have a front plate.

Have you written your representative? That would really help.

Looks like it's still in committee review:

I assume this doesn't matter but I figured I may as well ask. I can't find anywhere where the cop signed the ticket he also got my age wrong. Will that help me avoid dealing with this? I'm still waiting on the ticket to process. I don't live in houston and don't want to go down there to deal with it. If the judge decides to be a jerk also.
