Old Brooklyn hit-skip highlights pitfalls of not requiring front license plate

“Although the absence of the front license plate affects law enforcement agencies across the state, it is especially problematic for urban departments like the Cleveland Division of Police.”

CLEVELAND — Hit-skips are one of the most frequent crimes in Northeast Ohio yet notoriously one of the most challenging to solve. Ever since the state did away with the front license plate requirement, the task of investigating reports of hit-skips has grown even more difficult, officials said.

Although the absence of the front license plate affects law enforcement agencies across the state, it is especially problematic for urban departments like the Cleveland Division of Police. A particularly egregious hit-skip last weekend in the Old Brooklyn neighborhood is a glaring example of how valuable of a tool the front license plate is when it comes to criminal investigations.

If the vehicle had a front license plate, it is likely that police would have at least a partial plate number.“There was a hit and run next to me the other day and it would have been beneficial to have the front license plate. I would have been able to help the lady that got hit,” Ayala said. “Especially in this area of Cleveland, there are a lot of hit and runs where you can’t catch the people because you can’t see the license plate number.
