Actuly it is not a strange Missouri State law. When the feds require it for trucks. Look under the Federal intrastate regulations. You people need to to get out of your shells once in a while. Semi's are required to have front mounted plates, not rear mounted as someone mis informed put on here. Ask any scalemaster what he will do if a semi pulls on his/her scale without the front mounted plate! And yes, the officer was shown the paperwork, state D.O.T. inspection and the front mounted licenseplate. The Police dept. has now been given a copy of the Missouri State law.
To the people of this State, maybe you think Missouri's law is strange, but 43 States disagree with you. Missouri at one time had the plates on back until a federal judge in a case ordered that they change the law so Missouri would be inline with the Feds requirements.
Hint, it could happen here too!
