I've noticed a bunch of Maryland tagged cars running around without a front license plate (or something in its place). Are we still required to have a front license plate?

got nailed for no front plate this summer.
(bumper & plate were damaged from a collision with a tree): gave me the ticket anyway.---PG's finest JERK.
Very clear that you must have the front plate. The law in Maryland probably predates the use of radar. Without the front plate any police officer can pull you over for an equipment violation without any other probable cause. You can be fined but no points.
I have a historical vehicle that has no front bumper so no place to attach the plate - they probably give me a break because the car is so old but I never forget that I can be pulled over at any time.
Why is the cop a jerk? You are supposed to have a plate on. If you are driving your car around, it should be in full, legal working condition first.
Why?
Because if he were human, he would see i was wearing my State Park uniform and say,..."hey, I see you are heading off to work,...can you try to straighten out the plate and have it on by the end of the day?"
I would have answered: "Thanks for the break officer---I'll have it on by lunchtime...have a nice day."
Instead, I now view most cops with suspicion because they are roaming around from donut shop to pizza joint looking for the easiest ticket and chuckling with the buddies about making easy money.
The cops will use that as an excuse to pull over the rice burners.
Rice burner or not - you still need the front tag...
If you don't have it on don't say it's an excuse for them pulling me over - Even though it is an equipment violation...
If you don't have it on you kind of ask for it :shrug:

Why does he give you a break? And one ticket makes you disrespect law enforcers? And you think they make easy money? Would you come to my house in the middle of the night on a domestic call? He would.
He was doing his job. You were not doing your job as a driver
I love cops. They risk thier lives for ours. They are underpaid and under respected. Remember how we treated our firefighters and police officers after 9/11? They deserve that respect everyday, not just when we need them.
