Re: illegal to ride around no rear bumper?

When I first got my truck, I had a police officer mention to me, very politely in a suggestive way that he thought I may need to have a bumper rather than a roll pan. He said he wasn't 100% sure, but I should look into it incase somebody ever decides to hassle me. Did some digging around and found that local laws stated that front bumpers are mandatory on all vehicles and trucks were ok to run without a rear bumper. Odds are good this will vary depending on provincial/state laws.

What I really wonder is if they would classify a front roll pan on one of our trucks to be a bumper or not.
