Once the police realize you are a NJ registered car and don't have your front plate you will draw their ire! The police with laser radar favor aiming the laser at the front plate as it is a nice target with a flat surface made to reflect the laser beam. The police may get the idea you aren't wearing your front plate so as to evade the speed tracking because there aren't any other good points on the front of the car to reflect a laser beam off of. Many times once they pull you over they have already made up their minds as to giving out a ticket or not. If they can't ticket you for what they initially pulled you over for they can almost always find "something". The idea is to be as inconspicous as possible so they do't see anyting initially. Not having a front plate is too inviting.
