19 other states don't require front plates, but N.J. cops say the proposal is a bad idea.

Aug. 20, 2022, 10:00 a.m.

“It’s the cost of manufacturing two plates. It’s not a huge savings, but motor vehicle charges would go down,” said state Sen. Vincent Polistina, R-Atlantic, who co-sponsored the bills with state Sen. Edward Durr, R-Gloucester. While he wasn’t aware of the petition supporting the one plate idea, Polistina said he welcomes the support. The bill is currently waiting for a hearing by the state Senate transportation committee.

”Crime is transient and we’re talking about an era now where our motor vehicle thefts are through the roof,” he said. “Heroin trafficking, fentanyl trafficking, gun violence are through the roof. So why take away a potential public safety tool from the police just to save a few dollars on the motor vehicle side of things. It just doesn’t make sense to me.”

”So now you’re basically saving money on one end and throwing it right back out the window if we’re not going to allow the technology to be effective for us,” Blanchard said.
