I've a TR '03 & within 3 weeks of having the car I stumbled into a [well hidden] radar trap, got nailed for 15 over which is a pretty good pinch.
Would you believe the cop wrote me a warning!!
Damned good thing he took forever running my plate, because while I was sitting there I took the liberty of stashing my radar detector.
He deliberately scanned the inside dash area of the car, top-to-bottom, then asked me to accompany him back to his squad car where he wrote the warning.
All I could hear in my head as I drove away was Sinatra singing, "Luck be a lady, tonight!"

Not running a front plate just gives the Cops a reason to pull you over and then look for other offences.
I always run a front plate and use my seat belt, thats what they always look for in NY State

I didn't get pulled over but today I received a vehicle equipment warning about not having a front plate. The officer also circled speed under other offenses and just noted 55 zone. I have until the 27th to have a front plate installed and then mail the tag in after its certified by the police.
I hate the look of a front plate on these cars. What's a guy gonna do? Put a plate on it and get them to sign off then remove it and take my chances. They will spot it for sure with that ARREST ME RED PAINT!

venting
Just one cops way of venting because he couldn't play lazer tag with you.In the mean time a herd of camels just went trough the front gate at your local atomic power plant.
