I bought a new car and got two plates. Both are mounted. My old car has only the back plate displayed. It has been that way since I bought it in 1996. I have been stopped twice [once in California and once in Texas] and gotten verbal warnings. The other plate is in the trunk and I have every intention of mounting it on the front bumper.Crossfire wrote:I got a written warning. So, no test case here. At least not yet. And it was a DPS officer in Hood county. Your attonrey link would be great, but only handles Dallas county cases.
Officer believed me that I just got the plates, since I still have the dealer plate that is unexpired, and I do have the other plate. It's just in the trunk.
I really think he was more concerned about the window tint. He seemed pretty surprised when it passed. The car is blackberry, (more black than berry.) The back windows are limousine tint, so the front windows look very dark when looking at it in passing.
I probably will put the front plate on, just to keep the harassment to a minimum. It just annoys me that, looking around after getting stopped, probably 10% of the cars on the road have no front plate. So, this must be only selectively enforced.
