Take it off, but keep it in the car. Then tell the nice policeman that it just fell off

Does this ever work? lol
Admit, certain cars look much better without a front number plate

If you get stopped you get told to get it fixed and then have X time to present it to the police station as proof you have actually fixed it.
So no on the spot fine?
Not usually. If you get stopped again then you might get fined.
TBH I don't think they even bother unless your doing something silly as well. Pretty much every super car I see driving around has no front plates, or even mountings for one.
Obviously tinted and purposely obscured plates might be treated differently than a plate that's just "fallen off". Especially if your driving like a maniac.

But if your car is nice and shiny and not a trace of glue residue where the plate should reside....
I think OP means this monstrosity:
I saw that actual car the other day!
that Audi definitely looks **** not only does it look like a hole where the number plate should be, he's de-bagged it too...........it looks naff.
that just attracts attention, it makes you think, ``i bet he drives like an idiot, lets follow him for a few miles``

My brother has a 2006 Mondeo with black and silver plates with a personalised reg and illegal spacing. He's had the car over 5 years, drives like a moron yet has never been pulled for it.
Until cameras pick up on this stuff (which they can't) idiots like this have free reign to ignore the rules.

Report him for the bants
Then visit him in prison and scream "it was just a joke bro! just a joke!"
I got a £60 fine once for having an illegal number plate. Opted against removing it completely and went for a small plate. I often wonder if no plate would've been better than the small one! Think it was the orange wheels with semi slicks that got me pulled over though - had a 20 min argument about the legality of the tyres before he did me for the plate.
Not sure what roads policing has to do with investigating murders.
I did it on my R8, got to about 4 hours in and thought nah and put it back on. Most people I know with supercars take them off and keep them behind their drivers seat with some broken clips. I think it's becoming more common these days and Police will begin to clamp down on it and frankly, when poor people start doing it with 'normal' cars I think us with proper stuff should have 2 on the front to differentiate and show we are not like them who live on estates and don't drink Nespresso n stuff. We are the illuminati after all, we lead, they follow.
Also the real reason I put it back on is I went to put fuel in my R8 when dad and son got all excited, so I let son sit in and go brum brum brum etc as I spoke to his dad. Things were going fine until he says "it's not yours is it mate?" to which I said what makes you say that?...."well no plates, trade car isn't it really". I shuffled the sprog from my car and drove off crying into my coffee.
Between us.
Funnily enough there was one at work yesterday but I couldn't get a picture of it as the owner was nearby. Could just about see in through the windscreen, but as I walked towards the side, it was immediately obvious in comparison to the lightly tinted side windows.
