Just to reitterate, in CA, the plate stays on the truck. No if ands or buts about it. The CVC states it. It's the law. PA sounds similar. Hell, I don't even have a front plate. Haven't for years. Not even a warning in all that time. Ooh, I'm such a law breaker.
Had CHP roll up on me a few months ago on I10 coming from the river towing the boat. I know for a fact you can't see my rear plate with boat in tow. Didn't even stop me. He just motioned "55" and to slow it down. I was pushing 75. He motored on. I'm not really afraid to get pulled over. They aren't gonna find anything and I'm more than respectfully and polite to LEOS. If I get get some zealous cop, so be it. I'll pay the fine and deal with it.
