if you, i, or us get pulled over just cause of a front plate i think its a curiosity thing more than a violation............
if we all followed the law we would never mod our vehicles or pull a wheelie on the hi way at 100mph by a state trooper.......
not that i have done that before...

I have one on the front of my '08 Clubman ... because I live in the UK.

I ran an authentic replica euro plate on my M3 in Arizona (where a front plate isn't required) and never had an issue with police over 3 years with it.

I guess I can consider the slackness in the state of Georgia a plus for once. Most people speed (the speed limit is considered a suggestion not a law ). I'm always seeing blacked out tail lights or those blue dot things, blacked out license tags...
I guess that's why I never get overly concerned with any mods I'm contemplating, there are so many around here I'd just be an ant in the ant pile.
