I once got the license plate for a car involved in a drugstore robbery from the front plate. I sure as hell wouldn't have had time to go around, not that I would have dared to, for the fear of getting noticed.
Of course the car was propably stolen anyway, but still, not all needs to identify cars are traffic related, and in those cases it's pretty much 50/50 which plate would be more useful. In my ears having just one plate sounds just weird, kind of like the Brits having different taps for hot and cold water. Something not from this century.
