Re: What could possibly go wrong?
Yeah, generally speaking the Equal Powers clause means US states have to accept one another's license-plate rules.
That said, years ago I knew someone who moved from Oklahoma (then a front-and-back-plate state; I don't recall whether it still is) to Massachusetts, which required a rear plate only. So he registered his car in Massachusetts, removed the rear plate, put the new Massachusetts plate one, and left the front Oklahoma plate in place.
That worked for a few weeks until he got pulled over by an observant police officer, who was not pleased with this arrangement. The old front plate came off post-haste.
