What’s illegal where you live, but cops will never actually stop you for?

New Jersey, same thing. The Teslas almost never have the front plate

NJ cops have basically stopped enforcing it. Apparently judges side with the driver too often when the driver claims there was no where to put it because the dealer didn’t install the front mount. So cops have given up stopping people for it. They pretty much only use it to tack on to a stop done for some other reason.

Cops in NJ have basically given up on doing most of their job and it's always the same excuse, "they don't get in any trouble, our hands are tied!" So what? Enforce the fucking law, inconvenience them with a court date and cost them some money for a lawyer at least. They don't enforce shit other than easy speeding tickets when they need to hit their quota and then they wonder why everybody just breaks the law all the time.

The cops don't enforce it where I live in Canada to the point where I see people driving minivans with front plate mounts and no front plates lol.

If you don't want a front plate for aesthetics thats one thing but you've got the mount or holes and the front plate on the dash its just so trashy.

I’m honestly surprised when I see a Tesla with a front plate.
