No Front plates or tickets for me in SoCal so far, but its only been 2 years.

I think the workload of police, and their personal disposition in your area will determine the likelihood of being pulled over and actually ticketed.

In my area they prefer to catch speeders so they typically don't bother you otherwise.

There's always a risk, but my car did not come with a front plate and when I asked the previous owner did not get one either so its likely been over 6 years since its had a front plate.

I suppose if I get ticketed I'll get new plates and attach the front.

If you keep one in the trunk/frunk and mention that you are in the process of getting it reattached but waiting on some brackets you could probably avoid a ticket, but that only works once with the same officer.
