patsbimmer1 Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Nobody will convince me that a license plate has any effect on radar or lidar, especially radar, where the wave is as scattered as it is. Radar guns have no issue picking up non-metallic items such as baseballs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WI cops look for the front plate and aim for that. You are arguing a tiny technicality to disprove something that has been said by actual officers and Radar manufacturers. Just because the radar will work without a front plate, doesn't mean that the police doesn't look for and use the front plate as a default. You're fantasy land is pretty bad ass.

Earl Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 I drove 6 hours down and 6 hours home from Clarksville, Indiana and wasn't hassled once for not having a front plate. The risk of a ticket is incredibly slim and if you do get a ticket, it is because of some other reason in the first place. REKIII 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reckedhim Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 I got pulled over on I-39 near Janesville on a Friday morning as I was going to pick my dad up for his chemo appointment. I wasn't speeding so the only reason they pulled me over was the front plate. I think one cop may have been training the other because two came to my car, which seemed unnecessary. I was just told to put my front plate on and they let me go. That was the only time I've ever been stopped for it. When I lived in Chicago, I got a ticket for no front plate while the car was parked on the street. They don't seem to be that aggressive here in Madison/Wisconsin.
