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.

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.

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.
