Default Front Plate Law - Help

So yesterday I got pulled over and given a verbal warning for having no front plate. This is in Massachusetts. He said next time is a ticket which gives me points on my insurance. I did not think points would go on your insurance for no front plate. Now what technically is the law? If I have the plate in my window is that alright? I don't mind paying tickets as long as I don't get points. Can anyone enlighten me on Massachusetts law, and if points are given or not? Thanks!

In California the front plate has to be mounted inthe factory location. The window won't count. Not sure if the same applies to your state.

I think every state is different. When I livedin Georgia no front plate required, here in Utah it is required. I dont have mine installed but keep it in the trunk just in case.

I believe points can be assessed to your license for a "moving violation" You driving with no frontplate=moving violation. I think. FL == no front plate either

Ct. it's the law too. No window.( it would look stupid there anyway) I know some people get panicy about iton the forum but the new Mustang already has the spot for it anyway, so I say mount it. Why keep getting pulled over. As far as points, anytime your issued a ticket, insurance co. know about it. In my opinion.

Moss Mustangs has a plate bracket -

I can't attest to it's functionality as the dealer had already bored two holes to mount the tag when I picked the car up.
