Reply to comment by craftycamilla in Anyone ever get pulled over for not having a front plate on their vehicle? by MrBleah
Your ID is your name + DOB/SSN. Your address has nothing to do with your identity as it is not unique to you. There are very few times and places where you need to prove your address outside of voting. Having your address on your license or ID is overkill and unnecessarily compromises personal information any time you show ID. Ironically CT doesn't use SSNs for your driver license number because of this.

Yes. In a rental car with a Canadian plate. Judge threw out the ticket.

Once a long time ago. The cop was just baiting me to see if I'd lose my temper to warrant a deeper search. I've had a few officers in the past be argumentative trying to find cause. The best defense is knowing your actual rights and not those told to you by a random on social media.

So far nope. Been pulled over for speeding too. Cop wrote the ticket in my girlfriends name too for some reason and the case was thrown out. We both had mustaches. Bro was a bro.

The first offense will be just a warning. $75 for 2nd offense and $150 for offences thereafter.

Nah, they don't bother to pull people over specifically for not having a front plate. but it IS something extra they'll tack on when you get pulled over for speeding, dui, etc. Son got pulled over for speeding, they tacked on for a frame around the back plate put on by the dealer where I bought the car. Those are illegal, too.
I haven't had a front plate in 10 years. Husband hasn't had one on since we bought his car 3 years ago.

That group has been pushing for that for decades now and have failed.
IIRC its illegal in CT to random scan plates and check registration because its a secondary infraction.
Other states have issues with these problems but we haven't and still don't.

I got pulled over on the very first day of enforcement.
“You don’t have a front plate.”
“I have a front plate. It’s behind my seat. I don’t have holes in the front bumper.”
<inspects front bumper> “Get some holes drilled.”

What kind of operation, open heart? Doctor, there's an AK47 in the chest cavity and half a key in the duodenum!

Yeah I have no issue with them trying to protect people working on the roads.
If they start putting them up all over the highway then we riot.
Especially if they put the where the highway goes from 65mph to 50mph. Cops love to sit there.

Last May late at night I was on 95 in Maryland and got hit with a ticket like this. The work Zone was not active. It was 40 bucks plus 2 buck processing fee. It said it was a civil fine. I did not get any kind of a bump in my insurance this year.
I remember reading it over and it seemed pretty much impossible to fight it as I would have to come back to Maryland and it felt more like a parking ticket based on my reading of it.
They send them out at 12 miles over.
From the site Violators must pay a $40 fine. Automated speed enforcement violations are considered civil violations; therefore, no license points are assessed.

Now expand them to all zones.

No. If they are going to pull me over for it I’m going to make it 100 times worse for myself and yell at them about how they are going to break my balls over a front license plate when atvs and dirt bikes race all over the streets and they don’t do anything.

These will be on every highway within a year. It's a massive revenue generator for the state.
