I think that petition is stupid. They want the front plates on for the intersections with the cameras on them. What good would those cameras be if there was no plates to capture on film? I always thought that the placement on your front bumper didn't matter as long as the plate is on the front of the car. Personally I'm going to try and move the plate down somewhere to the side then put plugs in the holes it leaves.

I mounted mine on a bracket on the lower grill. but since my car is in the shop, im hopping they dont drill holes on the new bumper for the plate so i can just not have a front plate. Ill probably keep it in the glove compartment, and if i get pulled over ill just say that i never got holes drilled for the license plate and i dont want to do it myself (even though im a DIY'er) lol

most of those cameras, at least around here, get a shot of the back of the car too. But in any event, the front plate law in CA most likely won't ever change :;sigh::

As long as you have the DMV documents in a pouch in the lower right corner of the windshield you should be OK. However, it may be a good idea to leave the dealer tags on so you don't get harassed.
