A cop friend of mine said to call your local police station and report your front plate lost or stolen. It is then entered in their computer as such. When the cop pulls you over..just say it was lost and you filed it with the police. When he calls in to run your car, it will show up with a reported lost plate and he CAN'T give you a ticket!!! Then when your plates come due for renewal for a new sticker, the license bureau will want you to get new plates..just tell them you found it...and then start the whole process over. Ta- daaaaa!! Oh, by the way, if he sees no plate frame, just tell him it was one with the suction cups to avoid putting holes in your bumper.
