I know RI requires a front plate, but i was curious if they crack down on it. I feel like i see a lot of rhode island registered cars without a front plate.

If i take off the bracket and plate, would i be pulled over immediately? Or is it a simple case of a cop being a stickler

i live in prov

Afraid so. You are more likely to get pulled over by the Staties than local cops in my experience.
