I didn't know that the radars needed a plate to detect speed. Nice.

License plates are generally made with a reflective material which makes it a nice target to aim for when trying to clock a cars speed. No plate means you have to be closer for them to get a reading which also means more warning time for you!

You don't need a front plate to get lasered or tagged with radar. You only need a surface level big enough to reflect the wavelengths and the whole front of the car is plenty big. It just so happens that most cops use the front license plate as a focal point.

I don't know man, I got pulled over one time for gunning it through a light when I was a hurry. I had no shoes or shirt on at the time, just some shorts because it was a quick errand somewhere that I didn't have to get out of the car. And to top it off, I didn't have my wallet or license on me. The female cop asked me if I lived close by, and when I said I did, she told me to go home.

If you do end up forced into the front plate, you should get one of those "texas truck" ones just to be funny, do they still have those?

They just ticket for front plates here downtown Salt Lake if they're in a really pissy mood, which rarely rarely happens.

Corvettes and Porsches FTW!!! I love those videos of the frustrated cops with the lasers who can't tag them.
