ok, theres no exact law you will find. However, heres the breakdown..
NJ police CAN give you a ticket for not having your front NY plate on.
but, most of the time cops arent aware of this and once they see the rear NY plate, they move on.
Same goes for tinted windows basically.
One state can't techincally enforce another states equipment violation laws, yet when the vehicle is in another state, violations that violate safety concern ie tint, can be enforce by that other states police.
I didnt run my NY plate a long time, never had issues in NJ even with 5% tints on the side windows. On base in NY, i kept getting told i was missing my front plate, so thats only why i put it back on.

and my SS hasnt had a front plate on it since 2005 and will never have it on again.
