California legislators have tried several times over the years to eliminate
front license plate, to save money, but the CHP has managed to keep them each
time. My dad caught a number of stolen cars in his 20 years on the Patrol by
spotting different plates front and rear (bad guys steal a plate from another
car and replace just the rear plate on a hot car, hoping to get away before the
plate itself is reported stolen).
