A word of advice for those of you that live in the 19 states that don't require a front license: always back into parking spots to make it difficult or impossible to read your plates. There are other good reasons (like increased safety) for backing into parking spots and keeping your travel history private is just one of them.
Here in NJ, its required but I rarely have one. My Audi A6 didn't come stock with a front plate holder (and honestly wasn't aesthetically designed for one) so didn't have one for its 3-year lease. I was never pulled over for it.
I removed the front plate off my Wrangler to install a winch and haven't been pulled over yet.
I do prefer to back into parking spots, but I'm curious why you think it increases safety?
don't back into parking spots that are right in front of an apartment window or the entrance of a store though, you'll be piping escape gases in people's faces, especially with a truck.

I would REALLY like to know what's controversial about this statement.
Probably the exhaust/escape typo.
