i live in ny. you need a front plate. they'll let you slide with putting it in the front window. it's just another bullshit NY law

i don't understand why you need a front plate. if you're speeding past a cop he can't read a front plate anyway and he's gonna follow you from behind.

ny gets all the shitty laws. just because of geographic location i have to have two fucking holes drilled in my front bumper. and i can't even legally buy firecrackers in this state i have to go the city.
