Many people simply refuse to put a front plate on their car. The fine isn't outrageous or anything. I didn't realize TX required them...hmm. Learned something new.

His point was, with him not having a front plate, she couldnt radar him so since he was speeding, he did himself a favor & didnt get the ticket; not to mention it was a lady cop who went easy on him. It is a great story if you can understand it.

no plate = small fine.
plate = being able to be radared and possible BIG fine.

I'm taking mine off. :P

That sucks. They're required here in Cali too.

BTW: does anyone know how to mount the garnish? Is taking off the bumper required to do so?

yeah. the law in texas is 2 plates front and back. front plate must be displayed on the front of the vehicle. where the front of the vehicle is, is kind of unclear (lol) front bumper? behind the windshield showing from the front?(thats where i put mine) on the front grill? its kind of left to interpretation. must law enforcement will tell you the front is the bumper or grill. more than anything it can be used for probable cause to stop you. so take it for what its worth.

Well, they would still get you with a regular radar which is far more widely used than a laser one. Laser requires clear weather and precise aim. Also even if you don't have a plate, they can aim at your headlight.

I also don't have my front plate on, but I do hate female cops since most of them have ***** envy and are on a power trip to prove to society how powerful they are.
