Some douchebags had their van stalled shining its light into my apartment when i noticed there was no front license plate so i had to go to the back to document their license plate number.

It was very inconvenient to get that all locked in and squared away, can i report them for that alone? Thats like drug dealer or illegal shit isnt it?

    Depending on local laws such as your country, state, district, or county:

    Cars without license plates require Tags. These identifiers are used to show your vehicle was inspected and registered with the local authority such as the DMV. Because new plates take time to be obtained, Tags can be placed in either the windshield or on an unqualified plate.

    The requirement for front and back plates is not universal.

    There are usually some circumstances where a vehicle may drive without a plate, such as a federal authority or in an emergency.

    You should report it after researching your local laws but please DO NOT use any emergency lines.

    In the US, this depends on your state. Mine does not have front plates, most of the states near me do not, but one does

    It also depends on the car, if it was never designed for a front plate at all then it won’t need one.

    That depends on where you are. In most of the world cars need both plates, but I know at least some US states are ok with only a rear plate.

    Define stalled.

    Usually it means the engine stopped for whatever reason, so if that’s the case you checked the plates of someone who could have broken down.

    Paranoid much?

    Then again you live in that shit hole of a country
