Default Front license plate or no?????

For those of you in states, provinces, or countries that must have a front license plate, how many don't follow the law???

A definite NO here, although CA has historically been very lax about enforcement so I don't feel like much of a scofflaw...

I have just been told by a car trader that there is technically no requirement for a front plate in Japan, but that everyone has one...... I need to check this out, since all of the speed cameras here photograph the front of the car.....!!

(He trades Ferraris and I have noticed that none of the ones he drives ever has a front plate on it!!)

Hmmmm, this could be an important find!!

I do the same thing as mns2k. Maybe we should scratch it up a bit so it looks like it's been mounted? I've heard of people in Texas getting a ticket for not having a front plate but for the past 2 1/2 years and 17,000 miles, no one has said anything to me about my missing plate.
