First time was for "speeding" (I was doing ~65 in a 55), but he only ticketed me for no front plate. Second time it was a cop sitting at the LIE onramp that I had been using every day to go home from work. He was probably sitting there just scanning license plates to find something to ticket somebody for (meet the monthly quota?), and I guess he noticed I didn't have a front plate on, pulled me over as soon as I got onto the LIE. He even bragged about how he ticketed a guy in a Ferrari that would take the LIE daily for no front plate four times until the guy finally put a front plate on.
It's probably not a common occurrence and I still see numerous cars on the road registered in NY without a front plate, but I'm done paying $250 fines for it. I have a PBA card too and they couldn't care less.
