Maybe because you came from another state ? He should have let you go
Cops give me a brake,I usually give a funny comment ,Im sure my fathers NYC family badge helps though.

Pennsylvania has fix it tix too. Pursue it.

I have never been questioned on only having one plate in NY or anywhere else. I think PA is one fo the last states to only require the rear plate.

Two License Plates Required

Approximately 30 states require that automobiles have a license plate on both the front and back of the vehicle. Proponents of two license plates argue that it increases safety and helps law enforcement officials. For example, supporters have suggested that two license plates help photo radar enforcement, because the photo is taken from the front of the car.

Opponents, however, suggest that two-plate systems increase the likelihood of fraud because a vehicle owner might put the second tag on another unregistered vehicle, thus evading registration taxes and fees. Another concern is the expense of issuing twice as many plates and storage of the plates. The price of manufacturing a license plate varies from state to state, and sometimes the price differs for specialty plates or personalized plates versus regular plates. For example, Missouri manufactures its plates at an estimated cost of 84 cents per plate, while the estimated price in Connecticut ranges from $2.85 to $8.

As reported in The Fast Track to Vehicle Services Facts: 1999 Edition, a total of eight jurisdictions responded to the question of whether they currently were considering changing the number of license plates required on a vehicle. Almost all the responding jurisdictions that currently require two plates have considered cutting back to one, but efforts have almost always failed. For example, the debate over one versus two plates has been ongoing in California for several years. Currently, law enforcement officials in California and other supporters have prevailed in maintaining the two-plate requirement, but proponents of one plate continue to emphasize fiscal concerns. On the other hand, the Indiana legislature has considered changing its requirement from one plate to two, but the move has been defeated because the advantages of two plates have not been shown to outweigh the costs.

More on the one vs. two plate rules....

From Wikipedia:

In the United States, 20 states do not require an official front license plate, these states being Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Washington, and West Virginia; U.S. territories Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam also do not require an official front license plate. In Nevada, front plates are optional if the vehicle was not designed for a front plate and the manufacturer did not provide an add-on bracket or other means of displaying the front plate. [8] Antique auto collectors may use novelty replicas of period license plates to give their show cars a dated look.

DAM! I was upstate Ny this weekend and got a ticket from the Sydney local town police for 45 in a 30.I was leaving a Kmart center and going down the road about 3/4 of a mile and right at the 30 sign he got me.
No other sign before that and i thought I was driving slow .
The PO slithered all stelth like up to my open window(tint )Said did you know its 30 on village roads, I said I didnt realize it till I seen you and most of the roads up here outside the village are 40 to 50 mph roads.
I said I thought I was doing 40.
He did ask me if I had factory tires I told him my dads a cop and showed him my badge,he said thats nice .
When he came back with the ticket He also slithered up in stelth mode learing his head up (maybe he was realy short or thought I would pop him ?
My wife asked If that was the only 30 sign on that part of the road Because it was at the end of the road, he said stop getting
argumentative and explained the ticket.WTF

County and Ny state cops always cut me some slack, this Hick Ahuh AhuH Just collecting funds for the town.

Then Im told By my mother in law and sister in law that they each got one in the same spot and never gave me the heads up ?.
