I actually did run into a couple instances where stopping high end sports cars (Ferrari, Lambo) where the manufactures don't even offer a front license plate bracket. This adds grip for it being braced against the front splitter near the bottom, as well as it prevents any scratching issues from the metal edge of the plate. I wouldn't add it to the vehicle at all but keep it inside incase you get stopped. It does need to be angled to fit, so to avoid any rubbing issues I put a few layers of electrical tape folded across the top and bottom edges of the license plate. I can't speak for other LE, but I can say in 22 years I never stopped a vehicle for only have 1 license plate unless other circumstances were present.just my two cents. By citing them for no front plate, they didn't get a moving violation citation which added points to their license and increased their insurance. As a traffic enforcement officer/interdiction officer, I also used the no front license plate violation to cut people some slack when I stopped them for speed and they had a clean driving record. We primarily used the violation to stop cars due to suspicious behavior (leaving high drug areas, residential areas at night where burglaries or car break ins were occurring, etc.). Until recently, we had 2 license plate requirement in our state. Does the state of Wisconsin have inspections for equipment compliance on motor vehicles? The reason I ask is I am a retired law enforcement officer from Ohio.
