Front license plate

As a former resident of one of the more than 30 states that require a front license plate, I am astounded by the lack of the front plate in Florida.

I have seen many instances on TV when the front of a car that is involved in a crime is shown clearly on camera. The car and driver could easily be identified in these instances with a front license plate. The cost of a front license plate can be passed on to the drivers.

Having two plates makes it easier to locate stolen cars. It is a simple addition and just one more tool for law enforcement.
