Front Plates in STL area

To those who have removed their front plates...

Have you been pulled over for it or anything? What about displaying it in the Windshield/Dash area? How strict are they about it?

i got a ticket in my mom's car for no front plate when it was in the windshield. only reason i have it on the civic now is because i have no money to pay for a possible ticket. if you are trying to decide whether to put it on or not, keep in mind that if you dont, you could possibly get a ticket at any time. but then again some people have went years without getting ticketed for it. pretty much depends on whether you want to risk the ticket or not

I dont always have mine off but have driven past many cops when its not there and have never been pulled over. I think as long as you dont draw attention to yourself you are ok.

Tyler, what area were you in?

and getteg, so if you have anything done to your car (exhaust, intake) its prolly better to keep them on?

i live in the Arnold area. i went about a year and a half without any hassle. then i was pulled over as i was leaving a gas station. told him i just got a bumper from the junkyard and it didn't have the bracket. the cop gave me a written warning and let me go. no more than 2 days later i got pulled over again in arnold. this cop let me go after i showed him the warning ticket i recieved prior. now my front plate is on the front and staying on until i can get my body work done and a new paint job. then i'll use the "i just got the car painted excuse' and see how long i can go without it again.

Never been pulled over in almost a a year, and i put mine in my windsheild or not at all, and i live 25ft from police station.. they dont seem to care, I asked them about it once, and he said where i live(crestwood/sunset hills area) they wont bother just writting a ticket just for that. depends on the area and the asshole of a cop they are, truely
