Another let's bash the cops thread here we go.........
He is talking about using the no front plate as a reason to stop a car. Example: You find a car in an area where no one should be late at night. The car is behaving the traffic laws. Officer sees the equipment violation and now has a solid reason to stop the car and find out what the occupants are up to.
If you want to debate this please do it in pm's so we don't thread jack anymore.

Illinois troopers issue paper warnings as well. I believe they are required too. There are a few other reasons to issue paper warnings, all have to do with the fact that the stop/warning is documented. Great for issues later on.
Scrappy is dead on about the equipment violation. I have only written one license plate ticket, but have pulled over quite a few for it. The one who got the ticket had multiple things wrong and a pisspoor attitude.
To the OP, I'd look into that flip out bracket when the time comes. You might never get stopped for the plate, but then again.....
