Most police agencies will advocate for both front and rear. Many situations where ID can only be made from the front. Common sense it seems, but trying to save some "cents" seems to be the rule.
Generally those who argue in favor of the two plate solution are also in favor of the national ID card and probably wouldn't mind the federal government tattooing a number on their chest.
I live in Illinois and wish we were only a one plate state. I have a couple of cars where I refuse to put a front plate on because it takes away from the aesthetics of the car (such as a Corvette). I've been pulled over a couple of times in the last 20 years, but most cops have bigger fish to fry.
What is the big deal? I don't want a national ID card. I think that's a terrible idea. Being able to easily ID a car is a whole different thing. They can track us any number of ways (cell phones, etc) if they really want to. Having a license plate on the front is not going to make much of a difference. It ought to be legible too! I am in favor of policies like Washington's where you have to replace your plates every 7 years so they stay in good condition and are easily identifiable.
