I'm chancing it with my front plate right now too. Been over a year and nothing said yet. I do carry it in my car just in case. I think it's one of those addon charges, if they catch you for something else and want to just slam you with everything.
Carrying it in your car implies that you know its wrong, leave it in your house and if you get pulled over claim ignorance. "Oh shit. Its not on there? Guess I never knew."
Unless you ware already doing something illegal like possession or driving without a valid license they won't care. Usually
I figured I would just say "I've been meaning to screw it in but haven't gotten around to it, I'll do it right now officer just gotta go buy the mount" but good call I'll just leave it at home.
To really sell it, remove the back plate, too. That way it'll just look like you didn't have a screwdriver, at all. Maybe also bust out a tail light, so the cop will be like, "This guy clearly just doesn't have the necessary tools for at-home repairs! I'm sorry to bother you, here's a little something to help with these difficult times!"
Lul, that's my old car. Really I just need to buy the mount and screw the holes. I just like how it looks without it better. Lots of cars here don't have the front one so hopefully I'll be fine for now.
Or don't talk to the cops.
"Yes" "no" "my name and information are" "here's my license" "you do not have my permission to search" "have a nice day"
Not a word more. Anything else runs the risk of being incriminating whether you're doing anything wrong or not. Note that Miranda rights, when they're read, say "anything you say will be used against you..." Not might or could be, but will. So, don't talk. 5th amendment and all that.
Here's an excellent video on the topic if you have the time to watch.
Also, this all applies to the US I don't know about legal systems in other countries.
