Now they put a rejected one above your sticker and tell you you can get a ticket once you leave the station. No grace period, no time to get anything fixed. The inspector said it is up to the discretion of the Officer that pulls you over so you had better have a good story. Another way the State can reach into your pocket for more money! Used to be you could just put the front plate on your dash, no more. With plate readers they want it where they can see it so they can read it and if they "get a hit" on your plate they pull you over. And once they "get a hit" the printer in the Police car automatically prints a ticket. That way the Officer has no discretion on most tickets so the State gets MORE money! Little wonder New Jersey is the State the most people move out of now ahead of NY and CA. My advice is to get the S/S bracket and put the front plate on unless you already have holes in your front bumper.
