Ive been pulled over for it 3x in ohio.
2x verbal warning, 1x written warning.
1 of the times I had it in my front window.
Another time I got it "sorta" written on a warning for my exhaust being too loud... (aka shifty dui check) but she finally realized she was blind and I had it on the bumper.
The more expensive your car, the more likely you will get away with it, you will never see a corvette getting pulled over for not having a plate-bracket.

MN = Required or rape
i know, it really takes away from the beauty of a front lip, or a sexy CTR grill, or maybe if your ridin dirty stealth sleeper, its the only thing thats still blingin.
A yellow plate looks bad ass tho, i dunno why.

here's a question for you guys, since we are on the topic. I noticed some cars with VA plates putting the plate on the inside front windshield so it's still technically shown and sort of in front and I think it's legal. so those guys aren't mounting the plates on the bumper at all.
any laws pertaining on where the front plate is supposed to be other then the fact it has to be shown on the front, but I'm guessing can be anywhere?

Wisconsin and Minnesota updated.
as far as plates in the window goes, illegal in california, i got a ticket ... his exact words is it has to be on the bumper.
for oregon, todd a memeber on this site said he fought his ticket cause he had it in the window, and oregon law states that the plate must be displayed and visible, but says nothing about it being affixed to the front bumper.

I highly dobut you can paint a lisence plate. I think most places in OH you can get away with the plate in the windshield. Just depends on how moody the cop is.
