Grew up in a state with front plates... Later I moved to a place with only rear plates..
Idk why the front ones are even needed to be honest.. Ease of enforcement?
- Seems reasonable to be able to identify cars from both sides
  
  And unreasonable to walk around to read the back plate?
  
  We need to make it easier for cops to look us up. This is a police state
- How are speed cameras handled in one plate states? In Germany we have front plates so you get the driver and the plate on one picture
  
  Owner/holder of registration is held liable for any photoradar that is mail based.
  Officer based (pulled over) is on whomever is driving the vehicle.
  Never seen it be an issue, fault wise
  
  Ah, you do it via the backside :D
  
  Yes. On photo, we don't care who is driving. Owner gets the fine.
  It's less of a system for correction of bad driving habits and more of a system for renevue generation. Which is shitty
  
  Don't worry it's the same in Germany. It's also mostly a cash cow.
