Front and back are required for passenger vehicles, trucks, and vans. The exceptions are:
Trucks licensed 18,000lbs or above, in which you get one (1) plate, beginning with two numbers, and it goes in the front. Idea being this will be used to pull trailers and there is no point in displaying it in the back. TAKE A HINT OKLAHOMA! Motorcycles, displayed in the back obviously. The penalty various if it is a muni, county/state who stops you. Usually failure to properly display plates. Good for PC to run a plate/make a stop but not worth a ticket in my opinion. |

I haven't run on on my cars for 20 years. I refuse to jack up the front of my car with that ugly ass plate/bracket.
MO needs to ditch this. |

Good PC to stop a car, and the fine is $93 from the state if you get a ticket. Also, front plate in the windshield does not count. |

As stated, it's good PC.
In Randolph I had a hard time enforcing the speed limit (20 on Randolph Rd.) also the speed limit signs were not the correct height under state law. So I primarily wrote expired plates, no front plate, and improper display (i.e. Plate in window) Fines IIRC were around $125.00 on each offense. Mainly newer Vettes and newer Camaro's I pulled one newer Vette over and as I started to explain why I pulled him over he stated "Yeah, I know. No front plate." He went on to say that my summons was number 30 for that offense since he bought the car and he wasn't going to "Ruin the looks with a front plate". |

It's a stupid law for someone to deface their property especially when it is not needed, just another way to generate money for the city.

I STRONGLY disagree. Sometimes the only plate you get a number off of is the front plate when a vehicle is going the other direction.
A "pet peeve" of mine is smoked license plate covers, I stopped a vehicle that was running a cover so dark I couldn't read it bending down next to it. 
When I ran the vehicle the plate was expired. SURPRISE! |

I'm not trying to bust your chops. If Missouri law allows one plate on a bike, why can't that same train of thought be the same with a car / truck? I know you don't make the laws, but it would seem to be common sense to me to require only one plate. I understand that that front plate may be the only identifier you may be able to make out on the car, but I'm sure it would also be easier to ID a bike with a front plate as well? |

Also, there are plenty of other states (actually, most states) which only require one plate. If it was a problem for law enforcement, every state would have two plates.

I guess I am the only person in the world who thinks the license plate actually completes the look of a vehicle.
I think a properly mounted front plate does not detract and actually enhances the look of the car. When I get a new car I can't wait to get the tags because of that giant blank space on the bumper! |

Front plates suck. Only people I saw with them back in Michigan were those with classic cars or vanity plates. Since moving here, the front license plate thing is one of just a handful of things I see Missouri being more retarded than Kansas about. I can't think of the others at the moment.

Yea it is never fun to be proven wrong on a traffic stop. Has only happened to me once but it was after the lady magically "found" some paperwork proving ownership once I was already siezing the plates. I know its true to 24k plates and I assume for 18k as well, but by law you have until April 1st to renew the plates. A farmer loophole put in there for some reason. I cannot tell you how many I see with otherwise expired registration on March 31st and then magically the next day all of them have brand new shinny stickers. |

I put the old plates on to go pay the sales tax and get the plates for a new truck, and got pulled over. When he pulled me over it was into my own driveway, and when I answered *why* I had the wrong plates (and showed him the new ones I was about to put on), he said I'd be much better off to go without plates than to put the wrong ones on. Verbal warning, and I never did it again.  |

People try and ride it out to April 1st so that they only have to pay 75% of the registration fee, since 18k and above are pro-rated by quarter. Also, as of July 2015, you can now get 2 year registration on trucks 18k and above. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I keep a small bracket that bolts to the back of the front push bumper. I usually leave that pos off. http://i1006.photobucket.com/albums/af184/thorshammerblow2/show_zpsm3h1rmrn.jpg I hope to be doing this very thing this spring with my FIL. He purchased my dream car (1969 GTO). We are supposed to hit the local car show circuit together... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Believe me: You DO NOT want LEO making laws (and I am one). If we did, the first one I would make is SIP....Stupid In Public. I could cure the crime and unemployment "crisis" in one fell swoop. Jails would become the number one employer as they would be overflowing... |

Hell I would go out into the parking lot on Court night and ticket vehicles that showed up with expired plates and no front plates. And of course there was the summons I wrote to an Attorney (expired plates) that was there for Traffic Court to represent a client. Our Prosecutor dismissed it.
And nturavrgcop is right, you REALLY don't want LEO's making laws. 
And there is an answer to not drilling the front of your vehicle, I would NOT suggest using it to hide your front plate while driving Hide a Plate |

How does the plate attach? Seems it would need to be mounted somehow? And nturavrgcop is right, you REALLY don't want LEO's making laws.

If you had your registration showing it was a DOR screwup, you shouldn't have received a summons. I've pulled over several vehicles that DOR had registered as cars that shouldn't have been. Nissan Frontier quad cab pickup, Ford Explorer Sport Trac (four door cab with a short pickup bed)., etc. Quote HistoryQuoted:

One unsolicited bit of advice... Do NOT swap plates between your car and truck, we CAN tell the difference without needing to "Run" them. I sure found that out. 7 or 8 years ago I sold a SUV and bought a truck, went to the DoR and did the plate transfer. 6 months later I got pulled over for having car plates on my truck... I showed him the paper work linking the car plates to my truck so officer told me to get it taken care of asap. I went to the DoR and told them what happens, bought new plates, put them on and a week later I get pulled over again for having different car plates registered to my truck, on my truck. This time I got a ticket . I went back to the DoR and finally got truck plates. That was a massive cluster fuck.If you had your registration showing it was a DOR screwup, you shouldn't have received a summons. I've pulled over several vehicles that DOR had registered as cars that shouldn't have been. Nissan Frontier quad cab pickup, Ford Explorer Sport Trac (four door cab with a short pickup bed)., etc. I always make sure that if I have a vehicle that can be registered as a truck or a car to register it as a truck with 12,000 pound plates that way you're not required to wear a seatbelt if you're over 18 years old. Plus if you get the local plates with a farm endorsement it's usually way cheaper too!
