Re: Ticket
The only peace officers that seem to care about the front plate in Ohio is the state patrol. I keep the front plate in the pouch behind the passenger seat so it is handy if my radar detector goes crazy, or I see a state trooper on the side of the road. Just place it in the front windshield and they cannot say anything.
I was showing my car to some local officers, which one is a very good friend of mine, when one of them brought up the front plate issue. I asked if they would put a front plate on this car if it was their car, and they all agreed that they would not put a plate on the front of the car.
Keep the car crisp and clean with no front plate!
