The purpose for stopping cars with no front plate has nothing to do with actually having a front plate. This process has long been in effect to use as probable cause for stopping cars for other purposes such as, unlicensed drivers, no insurance, warrants, searches, etc. It's more effective than you can believe. Also, like "Zoom This" said...he was let go. Why? because he can be stopped again any time another feels he needs to.
The Airport Cops are board and are one step above a security guard ....but are still probably ordered to cite violations in the parking lot.
That all being said, my Cobra has NO front plate and 3 inch Chambered exhaust and if I get cited then that's the way it is. I'm always looking over my shoulder.
