Why give law enforcement the opportunity to pull you over? I've been pulled over for no front plate. It was at 3:30am on a Saturday night. He used it as an opportunity to check me for OVI. Being stone sober I'm sure he was disappointed. If they are looking for something, they will find a way to justify the stop. Broken light, no plate, no license plate light, improper lane change, following too close, etc. etc. Plate it, or possibly get harassed about it. Simple choice to me.
