flashing lights = end of an era

From what I understand, states now want front plates for photo radar use. If TN starts requiring it, I'll fight them like hell. If they win, I'll move across the border into GA.

i dont understand it...minnesota requires front plates too but is it legal if there is no mounting area for the car? cause i've never seen a vette or camaro with front plates..

Same thing with other cars, like Grand Prix's. I think they get left alone because those cars don't rarely came with the front plates installed from the dealerships, so cops don't bother, even in states like CA, where front plates are required.

From what I've heard(could be wrong), a front plate is required only if there is a provision for one. Like pre-drilled holes for example. I think it all comes down to the mood of the revenue monkey that pulls you over. And if you think imports, modded or not, grab police attention, try driving a thrashed looking '69 bug. I used to get pulled over all the time, never got a ticket, and the reasons they gave for pulling me over were pathetic at best. And if they didn't pull me over, they would either stare at me until I was out of sight, or they would follow me for a while. Good times!

In Texas your are suppose to have one but I got pulled over by a couple of state troopers and they let me go on it. Heck, I was speeding, wrong address on my license, and no front plate. No warning just a friendly, be carefull and have a nice day.
It was after 5pm, I was in business clothes, my 13 yr old was in the car, and they had been pulling over dumbass rednecks in giant ass trucks all day on the little, winding, two lane, country road I live off of.
It was like a couple of fishermen at the end of the day and they had allready caught their fill. They let the little one get away,

Of course I am a funny guy and I made them laugh a few times so I guess that didn't hurt either
I did tell him I did not want to drill holes in my car.

No front plate required in Alberta. And even if itwas, I would NEVER run one. I don't care how many tickets.
