The cop can still give you a ticket for having it on your dash (if he wants to be annoying). But some cops on the other hand don't bother pulling you over, seeing you have made an attempt to show it from the front. CA really has to get rid of this front plate thing

My friend has a bentley flying spur and has never been pulled over for no front plates....Yet I hear of more regular cars being pulled over all the time...

Front plates are supposed to be mounted on a car a certain height from the ground. The dashboard is too high and you'll get pulled over anyway. I haven't gotten pulled over yet and I have holes drilled already so let's knock on woodgrain.

No, the plate has to be securely attached to the front of the vehicle at a specified height range. Front windshield has been and will continue to be a

This may be a litte off topic, but my friend who's in law enforcement says that 11-99 Foundation license plate bracket often gets its priveledges, but it'll be a donation of $1000 to the police foundation. Can anyone confirm?

That is true to an extent. It requires an annual donation to the CHP fund to support fallen officers. You get an identification card or badge in your wallet as well. So by having it, it just shows that you support law enforcement.

Do you have that much money to spare?

decapitation during an accident is also a possibility if you want to put a sharp metal plate between your dash and your windshield.

i just got tagged for a no front plate in the city of Walnut.... im looking for one of those slanted license plate things... where can i go about as to getting one?

also... can someone describe me the process of dealing with a fixing it ticket? im not trying to get out of it.. i just want to know what do i do. i plan on permanently having a front plate, so thats why i want those slanted brackets.

do you know if i have to go to court and stuff? i tried asking the cop that cited me for it.. he gave me options, but didnt really tell me whats the fastest and easiest way to deal with it... and he was also very vague....
