Default Any experience with MA cops feelings with no front plate?

I used to run no front plate when I lived in NY and didnt really run into any problems, except once I got a warning after already being stopped for speeding.

I plan on putting on an RS4 bumper and dont want to ruin the look with a plate. Just seeing if any of you have any input on the situation.

Thanks

Went almost a year without one before getting a written warning for it when stopped for other reason

Default Yup

Got pulled over in Hingham, MA for it. Cop said he pulled me over b/c I didnt have a front license plate. I just explained that I didnt know it had fallen off, he was pretty cool about it and said to get a new front plate. No written warning or anything

Some don't even know it's illegal, some consider it worse than murder (or even worse than speeding!)

Default there are both 1 & 2 plate cars in mass......

so unless you attract the cops attention you may slide for quite awhile

Default All red plates are supposed to have 2

No new green registrations have been allowed for years.

Default got yelled at once

but it was only because I was already stopped for something else. The cop asked where it was and I had it with me in the car. After showing him that it wasn't illegally mounted on another veichle he didn't care anymore.
