^^^^^ Yep, front tags are ugly, even fugly. They really screw up and take away the good looking front of the vehicle. Who wants to see an ugly-assed tag on the front of a sexy Corvette or Ferrati/Maserati/Lambo or your new Bentley or Rolls? Screw that. . | |||

Yup…looks like one of those Sovereign Citizen clowns. I personally think we should respect and acknowledge them, and toss them out over the border with their “private vehicle” to either Mexico or Canada since they don’t believe in participating in our society and laws and see if they can come back to “not their country” | |||

I see cars in CA all the time with no rear tag. I don't know how they get away with it unless it's code for judgment-proof illegal alien, so LEOs leave them alone. I got a $1000 ticket for not having a current insurance card on me during a stop. In AZ they'll erase that with just a fax proving insurance at the time of the stop, which I did. But hell, when I pay $1800/yr and have only been stopped twice in 14 yrs here, I'd be a lot better off taking my chances on a $1000 fine once in a while. But then I'm not judgment-proof. | |||

IME, Texas actually enforces it. One of my welcomes to Texas in the 90s was the ticket for no front license plate. I had just moved down from a state that didn't require front license plates.

It’s racist to enforce minor vehicle code violations in CA. Doing so leads to increased police interaction and we can’t have that. In Berkeley they’re debating turning such interactions over to non sworn unarmed civilians. The actual cops would be barred from such activities. Funny thing keeps happening though. The cops keep pulling over for minor infractions and keep finding prohibited folks with all kinds of guns. I couldn’t make this shit up if I tried. | |||

I've gotten lucky so far. My F150 actually advised removing the front plate when towing, so I never put it on as I was regularly towing a trailer. My Mercedes, I didn't want to drill holes in the bumper. 2 years with no front plate. Current car doesn't have a front mount, Oregon car originally. Only ever got stopped in my Acura, constable verbally took my info after I informed her of my CHL. Released with a warning. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Looks funny, probably seems like it would be a cool story to tell your buds (until you got caught), but my life is too short to go looking for that kind of trouble. YMMV. | |||

I haven’t had a front license plate in Texas for at least 15 years. And yes, I didn’t want to drill holes into the front bumper of a nice car. The local cops don’t care. Only the State Troopers care, and only if they are bored. Got one warning from the State Troopers about 8 years ago. And even the large pic still looks Photoshopped to me. How is the license plate pristine when everything else is covered in dirt and grime? This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears above ground he is a protector.

It looks photoshopped to me. Look at the shading and lack of opaque brown/grey patina and rectangular "deep black" region around the lettering. The contrast is not realistic. Convenient fuzzing around the letters in an otherwise hi-res photo... Someone put a lot of effort into it, but they are still retarded IMO. | |||

A friend was called for jury duty at our local JP court. A Sovereign Citizen was contesting a ticket for no current tags. Verdict was Guilty, pay the fine. While headed back to his car, my friend saw the car belonging to the Sovereign Citizen. It still didn't have current tags. | |||

Makes me wonder how many skirt the vehicle laws. I just met a guy with RV in CA with South Dakota plates - says he has never been to SD but has PO Box there and registration is $800/yr less. Did not ask if he pays CA state taxes. | |||

Sounds like you live in El Paso. I've seen paper tags here on commercial vehicles that expired in February 2020. One asshole here who lives in the neighborhood gets a new paper tag every few months, been doing that for 2 years now. _____________ | |||

Here in Virginia, it is (or was) legal to put a tag that said "farm vehicle". And that was all that was necessary. No license plate, no plate fees, etc. I have not been down in Virginia farm country for a while but have heard nothing that would indicate it is no longer legal. Over the years, I have seen a number of pick ups with "FARM VEHICLE" painted on the tailgate.

I assisted on a traffic stop early this morning on a vehicle with a fake temp tag. The vehicle’s Texas registration was expired in 2020, and the correct plate was still displayed on the front. The guy had forgotten to remove it, but he did, however, remember to remove the window sticker. Photoshopped or not, you need no registration for off road use only. It would be a mess if we had to register race cars and other vehicles not used on public roadways/highways. Retired Texas Lawman | |||

Problem is if you enforce a minor motor vehicle infraction, which these are, and shit goes sideways and end up in a use of force or deadly force situation, a prosecutor of the Soros ilk, be it at state or federal level can make your life a living nightmare, let alone all The BLM, DOJ, ACAB, ACLU and Democrats in general. Sadly it may be wiser to pick and choose what interactions are worth it. Darren Wilson did his job, Mike Brown was trying to kill him, and what has happened to him. No way saying abandon your morals, but don’t sacrifice yourself for foolishness. | |||

Are you sure its plated in Texas? Missouri does not issue two plates for 3/4 ton trucks. The single plate goes on the front. Their reasoning is the truck will be used to tow a trailer and the rear plate will be trashed anyway. Now there are a bunch of retards running around in 1/2 tons with front plates only. The 5-0 doesn't seem to care. There are also a bunch of idiots running around with temp tags that expired over a year ago and I don't see them doing anything about that either. | |||
