Blows. I never had one on my s2000 until I started getting tickets from when I'd have it parked. I don't have one on 2 of my 4 cars, so we'll see what happens.

Going on three years myself with the S,been pulled over twice and never had em saying anything bout the front plate...I don't even know where the damn thing is.


I've been told by a couple cops that they won't bother unless you get pulled over for something else.

Although I"ve never made smart ass comments or questioned the police officers judgment at the scene(that's what court is for.)

If the OP's online attitude is a direct representation of his real life attitude,as a cop I would've found as many things as possible to ticket him for.

I don't have a front plate on any of our 3 vehicles, been in OH for 16 years now and never had a problem. I'm sure I'll get pulled over tomorrow now that I'm shootin off my mouth.

But I have been pulled over 3 times for expired registration sticker. All three times it was the month after it expired. Think I'd learn.

I'm just curious, can you please explain to me how my "online attitude" gave you the impression this?

I'm not dumb. I'm not going to question him pulling me over before recieving a ticket. Why would I care what I say or ask him after he's given me a ticket. Especially since he's admitted that he would rather pull somebody over for no front plate than speeding.

But honestly, I really don't care what you or the cop thinks.

And I thought I had it good for slipping by for 3 years!

He responded, "so you think I should write tickets based on how dangerous the misconduct is?"

Cops read body language and tones in your voice ,they're looking for any reason to ticket the youth especially in a sports car.

And I think you do care or you wouldn't have posted in the first place.

Speeding isn't necessarily dangerous however an idiot speeding is.
