Makes it easier to find a car when you're looking for it. Shows up in more photos or videos at/near the scene of a crime. Allows cameras pointed against the flow of traffic for photo enforcement and other surveillance (not sure if any California red light cameras are like this any more, but in the early years, the photo had to show the front tag and face of the driver...and photos taken were occasionally used to place people at/near the scenes of crimes as well).
And the lack of a front tag gives cops an excuse to pull over any car at any time that does't have one. Plus, all the tickets for missing front tags generate are free money for the state.
