Been driving since 2007 now ( crazy time flies ). Grew up in FFLD county so that's a lot of luxury vehicles without front plates. Never really seen them get pulled over.

Leased a Lexus in 2016, pulled over in 2019 a few months before the lease ended. Cop did the most reckless U turn I've seen on a busy 3 way , stop sign on one. Chased me down to the end of my private road to hand me a warning. Again I'm thankful it was just a warning but my guy had to have driven by at least 20 front plateless cars just in that traffic and then decide eh F this particular dude.

I go to the Lexus dealer the next day and my guy says uh yea we don't put them on usually bc literally nobody gets pulled over for that in this area. It's a rule but... This is the first time I've ever seen it at all enforced.

So he was just as confused as I was.

I'm on a different car now and again no front plates I've been pulled over a few times since then, only once a real issue the others just hey watch it type of pullovers ( aka nothing no one really ticketing people for going like 42-44 on the post road ). Again no one has had an issue. Never comes up.

Like I know I'm pushing my luck but I'm just going to say that that cop just felt like being a dick to a young looking 30 year old Asian dude driving a nicer than expected car. Try to scare me or something thinking I'm a teen. Otherwise there was no reason for it in that situation. Potentially T boning 5 cars to chase me down.
