There was a petition in Maryland several years ago.
The pluses of a one plate state, half the space needed for license plate inventory. Cost of plates cut in half yet the fee remains the same.

Why cops want a front plate.
Red light cameras
In the event of an accident, the front license plate is usually left behind.
There are some more.

Good luck.
I am now in a one plate state and the first week I did a front plate delete.

Yeah, it just doesn't make any sense. Especially since manufacturers have spent a lot more time and resources lately designing the front of their vehicles to be more friendly in the event of a pedestrian impact. I would imagine front plates put all that research to waste.
I have decided to take the risk and have already removed my front plate anyways.

Some one needs to do a study and prove that front plates hurt aerodynamics thus hurting mpg. Then use that to change the minds of the "green" states.
