btw, I believe that toll booth cameras read the front plates.
I've managed to go 7 months w/o getting pulled over, but if they step up enforcement I guess I'll have to rig up one of those tie wrap mounts.

The Supreme Court is simply ruling on the letter of the law. That particular case, regardless of the outcome, would not have had any effect on whether a front license plate is required or not. I don't think having your front plate on your dashboard is a very good idea anyway, for exactly the same reasons that Pete listed above. In addition, the thought of that piece of tin or aluminum sliding across my dashboard makes me shudder...
Toll booths read both the front and rear license plate. Some of them actually send you a photo with your bill if you don't have one of those toll tag things.
I haven't had a front plate on my Camaro at all since I picked it up in June of 2009, and I have no intention of ever putting it on there.
