He didn't have the plate mounted anywhere else and I assume he probably has it in his glove box or something. Instead of the plate he put his plate number on his bike rack with vinyl stickers. Would this be an acceptable solution with the police?

When I was in University I used to drive an old 1978 F-150, and under the license plate is where the ball-hitch would go.
I never really thought anything of it, but since I never towed anything I didnt really notice but in heavy snowfall the snow would accumulate on the bottom plate and obscure the license plate.
One day a Cop pulled me over and told me all about it. Credit to him, he didnt give me a ticket, but he did say that it is an offence to obscure a license plate, even if its just because of a snowfall.
So after that when I was clearing off my windows I'd make sure to brush off the plate.
