Maybe they have more on their plate, maybe not. Got pulled over out of state, and a written warning, for no front plate on my daily driver. I must look suspicious.
Chicago area is big on it. They want that front plate. It was one of the few things the inspector wanted to see.
I got a ticket once for it in my Land Rover in all these years but I heard other getting tickets all the time. Getting closer to the inner city you are likely so I just throw a plate in the front dash of the SUV. Out by me in the Far west burbs I have not heard of people getting a ticket for it. I have been pulled over in the Land Rover and the cop never said a word.
With that said the Cobra will probably never go anywhere near downtown Chicago and I will take my chances with out a plate. Though I do have a bracket I can use and or the second plate behind the seat.
