California Front License Plate

I used an aftermarket bracket called "The Bandit" - easy install and holds it away from the front bumper. (photo attached).

Just have it off and have the front clean look. CHP has more worries than a front license at this time ( speeding, reckless driving, etc..). If you do get a pull over, its not going to be for front license plate. Like @AdamVIP said, they will just add it in. This goes with illegal tint. They aren't really going to pull you over for it.

Actually, not having a front plate is probable cause to pull you over. LEO'S pull over cars for no front plate "ALL" the time. FYI. Next time when you're in downtown LA go by the traffic court on Hill street. You will see how many people have been pulled over just for no front plate.

Front license plate is not deemed as traffic violation. It deemed as a " Fix it ticket". Any fix it tickets are cleared though CHP office. Then you mail it in.


I've been through this process a couple times for exhaust, tint, & being low.

And how is it probable cause is the officer is behind you? Only way the can see if they are on the opposite side of the road.
