I don't know about "all others"...especially here in Texas.
Unlike most people, I've actually taken the time to count cars without front plates...and I've done it several times.
In my area, it's always a consistent 16% regardless of time or place. I always count at least 30 cars without plates and it keeps coming up 16%. That's huge!!!
I can't see enforcement of front plate laws as anything more than arbitrary and capricious. The state troopers are way more anal about it than the city police, but any way you look at it, it seems pretty ridiculous. Cherry picking people for enforcement is just wrong.
EDIT: No I don't have a front plate and no I've never been stopped for it.
