When I was a CHP Officer in south Los Angeles, my partner and superior pulled over a Corvette one day to check the VIN for a shot in the dark chance the VIN had been messed with and the car was previously stolen. After harassing the driver a awhile, and not finding anythng amiss, the peeved driver asked my training officer why he had been stopped in the first place. My superior looked around briefly, saw absence of a front license plate, and used that as probable cause to make a traffic stop. Actually, he was just covering his butt, because at the time of the stop we really did not have any valid reason to red light the driver.
