Its a stupid law to begin with and cops admit it is just used as an excuse to stop (hassle) people.

And it really says something that they KNOW it is now not a crime, but they will still stop and ticket people anyway and make them go to court.

“Its a stupid law to begin with and cops admit it is just used as an excuse to stop (hassle) people.”

Here in Northern California our Chief of Police told me that stopping someone for not having a front plate is known as the”chicken$hit stop.” You only use it when you want to mess with the driver. The legislature has tried to go to one plate because the second one costs the state a bundle, but the “cop lobby” always manages to defeat it.
