Got pulled over about 3weeks ago in KS and my car is registered in MO and plate was in the front wind shield. Ticket was 65 bucks. Im driving from stl to ks to fight it tomorrow. The KS cop enforced a MO law in KS. Cant be done. But its the first time.

In Nevada only a rear plate is required. Presently the state supplies both a front and rear but do not ticket you if you choose to not run the front. You do get looks if you have an empty bracket in the front so those that choose not to use one remove the bracket. The law on our book says "shall properly desplay the plate in the appropiate place(s), with appropiate lighting for night viewing".

That plus the dangers of a plate flying around and injuring or killing occupants in an accident.
And yes, it has happened, and not rarely. If my state allowed interior placement of the plate, I would use good quality suction cups in the mounting holes of the plate and fasten it to the inside of the windshield that way.
But the dangers of a plate flying aren't worth tossing it up there to try to avoid a $85 ticket.
I'll pay the $85. Or rather, put it on the front, show up to court, pay the $35 in court costs, and take it off when I get home.

It also could be argued that putting the plate behind the glass is inconspicuous because of the glare from the angle of the glass. Same basic reason plate covers, tined or clear are not legal.

I got busted and warned before that like 2 or 3x. Always had tons of questions when crossing at the border as well.

Yeah missouri law states that the front plate has to be fixed to front. I was in Kansas just across the state line. Kansas only runs a back plate unless its a personalized plate which you run both front and back. In court in kansas it was thrown out because the kansas cop cant enforce a missouri law pertaining to license plate location so i didnt have to pay anything. It was only 65 bucks but its still in my pocket.
