You can be stopped and you can also be ticketed if you just park on the street without the front plate.....if you want to be legal but hate the look put it in the front window....but it can be an accident hazard if not secured properly..

Ran mine with NO PLATES for almost three years before I figured I'd actually use my personalised plate, and even then only in the rear. I have gotten two no front plate tickets. One in SF when parked at a meter, and one in Palo Alto parked at a club where they came and ticketed all the no front plate cars (good revenue source i guess)
Just a cost of vanity I guess. I paid the tickets.

Oh yeah, I left my dealer stickers on, and STILL have it in my front window...seems to prevent most attention regarding my lack of a front plate 'cause a cop has to also see the rear to realise i have my plates already.

Depends on two things:
1) If you live in Fremont/ Milpitas, a definite YES you will get a ticket
2) If your car is yellow, YES you are more likely...haha
Just ask my bro who has a yellow IS300 and he's been stopped numerous times and on one occassion, had 7 fix it tickets for stupid things such as no corner reflectors and car too low (his car isn't even all that fixed up!)
So no front plate = risky in easy bay at least.
