It's personal accountibilty that you are trying to push off on the state. It's the law, suck it up. If you don't want to be stopped, put your front plate on. If you don't want to run the front plate, don't but then accept the responsibility of your actions. I don't have a plate on the front of the Mach. If I get stopped for it it's my own fault.

Lastly, police officers are not law makers, just enforcers. If you have an issue with the front plate law, write the state. The guy in blue is just doing his job.
I guess you missed the part where I said I understand BOTH Ryan and Derek's perspective.

wish having a plate in the windshield was good enough.

Safety hazard.

And for the record, I never saw the response I got from my comment.

Ryan is obsessed with my dog, apparently.

Didn't know that Plano PD hosted Cars and Coffee either.

It took over two months for me to be stopped for no front plate on my car. And it was a state trooper that did so. Just for a warning. So if city police cared to waste their time on that, I would've gotten pulled over a long time ago.

You get in a wreck, thin piece of metal becomes a flying guillotine.

so does a coffee cup or phone. use to have a 95 trans am that i kept the license in the winshield with some suction cups.

not trying to justify the safety part or argue it but damn i hate front license plates. i understand the law and why but blaaaa. i never argue with law enforcement or talk shit about them but hopefully they have better things to give me tickets for. iv calmed down a lot since my earlier days so i guess the only excuse they will have no is i dont have a front license plate. "hi osifer, how can i help yous?" "sir have you been drinking?" "sure why not" "please step out of the vehicle sir" "naw you get in im too drunk to stand, here let me get these cans out of your way" lol

Some of you guys get so worked up over this front plate thing.
There is plenty of mounting options out there that prevent the need for drilling holes.
You know the rules for plates, why complain about it if you get cited.

I was just stating verbatim what the Texas DPS officer told me when he stopped me for the same thing. LOL
