Aww c'mon! The Lot C cops at LAX wouldn't have any source of revenue if they couldn't wander around looking for front-plateless cars (just what I want my tax dollars spent on, but that's another topic).

That's the only place I've ever been nailed for this in 15 years of driving cars without a front plate (twice, before I learned my lesson and stated using the private Park One lot across Sepulveda). In routine traffic stops I've never been cited for it.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but does anyone have any idea if this petition thing ever worked? I don't see how it would make a difference

We had the same thing going here.
The petition went nowhere.

I'd like to share that I was able to park at LAX with no front plate, illegal tint and obnoxiously loud exhaust, and leave with no ticket!

Of course not - cash starved (when are they not?) local authorities that need them for speed & red light camera enforcement have a lot more pull than a few enthusiasts who don't want to mess up the lines of their cars (and are seen as outlaws who just want to duck automatic traffic enforcement.)

Just to prevent from being pulled over... I decided to use the tow hook license plate holder. Doesn't look all that bad... but I've decided to prevent myself from getting pulled over than having to be harassed by the cops... since a cop pulled over my friend behind me this weekend for not having a front license plate (I didn't have mine on either and I was in front of her) and ran background check and whatnot for 30min.
