(alot of 5th gen Camaros look pretty clean/new because they have only been out for just over a year) "we" are supposed to magically see the front windshield of your car from behind? and about the being pulled over the next week for your front plate not being put on, makes it sound like "we" are going to pick on your because you drive a "nice car"/ Camaro. I kinda got that too from your original post when I read it the first time... borderline bashing at most from my perspective
Its a cool looking tag and all, but you made the choice to put it there and make it stand out and you know as well as I do that it doesn't belong there... new car or not. Unfortunately for you the tag stood out to the wrong person. "The nail that sticks out gets hammered" I really don't agree with the way your State decided to issue temp tags but hey everyone does it different. My state issues a full size thick paper/cardboard temp tag that can be run just like a license plate--to me it seems to look a little more official and is easier to enforce. Anyway, No harm no foul he stopped you and made sure you were legit, just make sure that when your tags come in, you make it legal and then there won't be a problem. Just to be honest... if you were in front of me on the street with that tag on the back--- I would have pulled you over too... guaranteed I would have said WTF? like I said though nothing but a temp tag or license plate is supposed to be there in my State.

good points.... just so everyone knows... I wasn't mad, just wanted to share my experience with C5 folks.
I'll keep my rear fake plate on as long as possible and accept the fact police are doing their job. I don't believe they are "fishing" but if so, I've got nothing to hide.
I didn't realize this thread would turn into a debate on police. That was not intended. I wasn't even venting since I was not mad.... I do understand the "really" and "maybe they'll get me for that next time" could be taken to be a negative slight against police.... but..... once again, not intended.
