Since the law states $109, then it's $109. The officer can't fine you over that for the reason you said (Missing front license plate)
HOWEVER, depending on your attitude and previous warning notes, you may be fined for other stuff that he can pin on you.
I still believe that attitude is everything when a cop stops you. An officer usually has many options when he writes you a ticket. One example is if you turned right during a red light at an intersection that clearly states "No Right turns on Red", the officer can either:
1) Fine you for "Disobeying traffic sign", which is $121
2) Fine you for Running a red light, which is $167
3) Fine you for Disobeying traffic sign AND running a red light, which totals to $288
