1. They won't pull you over for it.
2. They WILL cite you if they've already pulled you over for something else.
3. They WILL cite you at LAX for it--it's commonly-known that you don't want to head to the airport without a front plate.
Having said that, the fix-it ticket I got for the front plate was from the CHP in orange county. I never fixed it, and it isn't in their system anywhere. Something tells me that fix-it tickets from the CHP aren't tracked, but I can't say for sure.

They do the same thing up here but mainly the CHP guys. Local cops don't really care about it. I've been ticketed before for not having a front plate and tinted front windows. All are fixed it ticket which does not show up in your driving record at all. Few years back, I got a ticket on my Z for having tinted windows. I told the CHP cop that the it would cost more for me to remove the tint so I might as well just pay the fine. He said it's up to me and left. BTW, I'm serious about telling the cop that I have to pay more to remove the tint. At the time, the fix it ticket was only around 60 bucks.
