RE: License Plates
Most auto parts stores have some little suction cups made especially to hook up your plate on the inside of your windshield. I put mine just above the dash all the way over on the passenger side. I haven't been stopped yet. The front plate is required here in Texas, but I think the law just says "on the front of the car". Look for the suction cups where the license plate frames are.

RE: License Plates
I know, I'm just giving you ****. actually, if you can't screw into it, the ties sound like a good idea. just get the uv resistant one or your **** will fall off and slice up your car.

RE: License Plates
Listed below is the state law for license plates for Ohio. It states the front and rear so it doesn't exactly leave too much room for choosing the location of the license plate. I would still try and use the front windshield without blocking your view. Unless you get that dick officer again, as long as it is viewable from the front, the officers I know (here in Oregon) don't care.
