If the law requires you to have a front plate in your state, just obey the law it is as simple as that. To me it’s just too much hassle to try and break it. Speaking of plates though, I was pulled over in Schiller Park, IL which is a suburb in Chicago for not having a front plate on. I have a Chicago Cubs front plate since I live in Georgia where the law doesn’t require a front plate. The officer didn’t know that and had to call the station for clarification. Not sure if Schiller Park officers don’t have anything better to do or maybe he was just a White Sox fan.
