I get nervous about that when I park or go for a ride 
But, I still leave the cover on!

No Front Plate Ticket
Just a warning for the Socal boys n girls - yesterday got my pull for no front plate. Also no current proof of insurance - I have it, I just had lagged with my in-car paperwork.
He stopped me for 2 things - tints and no front plate, but only wrote me up for the plate. I was doing a steady 44 in a 45 with cruise control on up the 2 (Angeles Crest Highway) which I drive quite a bit.
Knew I was on borrowed time - car came like this and it's been over 3 years without any hassles. CHP don't really care, but this guy was a Sheriff hiding in the bushes probably hoping to get me for speeding
Just a warning for you guys

Up here in Minnesnoooooda, if the vehicle is at least 20 years old, no front license plate is required. I know of a few late C4 owners who tried to go without front plates and were stopped and ticketed. Since early C4s and late C4s look similar to most people including patrolmen, I carry a note from the motor vehicle division saying that I am OK with no front plate. Forgot to mention I have an '86 Coupe.

It's a good thing he was enforcing traffic laws instead of trafficing laws. Let the drugs and illegals roll on through. I feel secure in knowing that speeders, dark tinters, seat belt violators and front tag scoflaws are getting the needed attention.

If it is indeed 20 years. My local DMV lied to me, which is entirely possible

Timithy McVeigh was arrested within 90 minutes of the explosion, as he was traveling north on Interstate 35 near Perry in Noble County, Oklahoma. Oklahoma State Trooper Charlie Hanger stopped McVeigh for driving his yellow 1977 Mercury Marquis without a license plate, and arrested him for having a concealed weapon.

Positioning of Plates
5201. C.V.C.
(2) The installation of a license plate security cover is not a violation of this subdivision if the device does not obstruct or impair the recognition of the license plate information, including, but not limited to, the issuing state, license plate number, and registration tabs, and the cover is limited to the area directly over the top of the registration tabs. No portion of a license plate security cover shall rest over the license plate number.
There is nothing about the front plate but...
