I don't know who told you this, but I've been pulled over twice in one week before on 895 and 95 for no front tag. I've also been pulled over one other time in the last year for no front tag by a county cop... so the troopers and the county mounties will go after you.

Front plate law is annoying. I told the dealer if the C55 came out with a plate on it, they can keep it.

However, on tints in Illinois...they are common in my area at least.

Yeah sorry this is a little late but hey the cop told me to take pictures of the car with and without tints and that would suffice. I'm just gonna tell the judge thats what ***** said and thats what I did.

I guess it just matters where you live. My parents live in Fairfax VA, where the cops are notorious for being aholes..and now with the new laws VA has (Commonwealth State) they are even bigger aholes. I have never had an issue in Florida..and the tint that i have on my cars wouldnt fly in most places, but like i said, when they pull me over in VA or MD, they see the USARMY Florida tag, they always leave me alone. It does suck for others, but it never use to be bad until those cops got shot when they were doing a routine traffic stop, got shot and the one who survived claimed that he couldnt see inside of the vehicle due to the subjects tint. It just so happens the cop who died was the brother of a well known state representative.
