Anyone else delete their front license plate?

Then they ask to see it and its a brand new mint condition plate that has never been mounted, lol.
I still have my FL plate on over here...I plan on running it until my registration is up this summer.No front plate requirement here in Florida
He will still say you need to mount it on the front. The Corvette owners used that excuse all the time. Didn't work. When law requires two.....then you need to figure out how to mount it.
Did similar that @lowranger did. Just pop it off when you hit the trail to keep it in tact. Those with a syn rope fairlead would just have to find creative way to mount it.
Probably, I will wait till first time then make something...doubt they will ticket first time, I am not an a-hole to them and have clean license.
OP
$125 fine here too. I have had some double takes mainly by state patrol, but never been stopped.
A good aign though was a couple of weeks ago, I walked out of a coffee place in North Bend - holding the door for 4 of their local PD. The last guy was probably <30 yrs old, he saw my Jeep parked right in front of the door and said "that thing is sweet!". I thanked him and we talked for a few minutes, where he told me about his wife's problematic YJ saying they were thinking about buying a TJR to replace it.
The other three officers were checking it out while he and I talked, they either didn't notice the missig plate or they didn't care. Either way, it was good to get on their radar in a positive light, the entire town is a 20-25mph zone (due to the tourist value of the show Twin Peaks and Mount Si).

Tuffy makes a license plate mount that attaches to the fairlead with synthetic. Swings up out of the way if you need your winch.
Front required here in TX too. I’ve been told the main reason they don’t change the law is that they use the front plate for reflectivity when lasering for speed on the highways.
"The man" is just doing his job that he is paid to do. He doesn't make the laws. Just like a welder is paid to weld or any other job.F$#k the man! I ain't runnin no stinkin front plate! Now watch me get pulled over next time out
I use to be one for over 31 years.Two of my closest friends are CHP so I am allowed to call em that
Ah, right on. Where, primarily? Both of my buds are at the academy currently. One doing evoc, the other basic training stuff.

I'm in Cali, don't have on front at the moment, but preparing for day I will have to apply. I like the clamp-on idea, bracket that was made though, that was slick!

I had a Beaverton officer yell at me a few years back about no plate on the front and I told him if he found it I would reinstall it he asked where I lost it told him somewhere in the woods never said another word again

But seriously, only issued 1 plate in PA. Not an issue here. :headbang:
