It seems rare for cops to pull you over just for not having a front plate. But they'll add a fix-it ticket if they notice it's missing after they've pulled you over for something else, such as speeding. If you're parked on a city street, meter maids can also ticket you for no front plate if they notice it. It's usually a correctable violation, unless you run into a jerk who marks it non-correctable.

 

<--- pulled over for no front plate (waiting at an intersection). I'm sure it was just an excuse to check out everything else.

 

Usually is. No front plate is the ticket to getting to see the rest of the car up close. See what I did there?

 

i spent a shift pulling over every car i saw with no front plate to see what i could fine. got a couple people for driving with no license, so it was worth it.

 

Hmm, maybe just don't speed? Oh wait, that's too difficult, huh?

 

I realize that cops can pull you over for not having a front plate because it is a violation of CVC 5200a. But most people I know that were ticketed for no front plate were pulled over for something else first.

Front plate enforcement in CA is fairly lax compared to other states I lived in. When I first moved here, I thought front plates were optional since I saw so many cars without them. It's mostly luxury and sport car owners. Is it worth the risk of a ticket for the sake of having a clean front bumper? To each his own...

 

A plate on the front will help in the long run. If you have any visible illegal mods (front window tint, loud exhaust) usually the license plate is just a tack on.

Unless you've been pulled over by a dick cop like Rossette in Fremont (who will pretty much pull you over for ANYTHING illegal he can find) you're pretty much waving a flag to want to get pulled over =P.

Nothing wrong with modding cars, and it is boring doing everything 'legally' but you pay to play.

 

had another lidar pop up today, maybe they are standard issue you now

 

My roommate was pulled over two weeks ago by Rosette for 35% tint. Then he added on tickets for no front plate and clear corner markers. And he marked all of them as non-correctable. Rosette is infamous in Fremont.

But my roommate drives his bright yellow Mercedes SLK like he stole it... so he may have been asking for it.

 

feel you on that one. that guys an ***!!
