Relatedly, just yesterday I saw an Audi with a big fake euro-style plate that was done up like a Washington State plate. Had the Mt. Rainier background and WA state crest in the blue box that normally has the EU country abbreviation and presumably even had the real plate number. But no way that is possibly legal, and I didn't see the real state-issued plate mounted anywhere, either.

Wish I could have caught a picture. That seems like it is just begging to get pulled over.

I saw a similar on an Audi but Colorado. My opinion was it was awful. Not sure on the legality either. Honestly I don't care about plates at all and never cared about the look one bit. The only plates I really like are the 5 year plates on my pickup that also exempt it from smog testing, as a collectors car.

A city cop pulled me over last week since he didn't like this setup; the exchange was pretty ridiculous. I mean, I can't complain too much since I've done it to myself here, and I should consider myself privileged to be able to argue with a cop in 2017.



"I pulled you over because of your license plate, is this car from Europe or something?"
"Yup it was built in Germany"
"OK well what you're doing here is running a fictitious plate and that's illegal"
"It's actually a bumper sticker, my license plate is mounted legally on the back"
"But you can't put a fake license plate on the back of your car like that"
"It looks nothing close to a legitimate US license plate, there's no way you could confuse it. If a bumper sticker is illegal, I'll take the ticket"
"Well I'm not gonna give you a ticket for it today but I want to make you aware what you're doing is illegal"

yyyyyeah...

I probably would have given you a ticket as douche bag tax. Go fight it if you want, you wasted my time so I'm going to waste yours.

My anecdote was answering someone who wondered if running a europlate was legal. Don't really know whose shoes you're standing in with your scenario, cop was totally free to not waste his time pulling me over but chose to instead.

I could sort of get away with running a Japanese-sized (but still plastic laminate, UK style manufacture) plate on the Suzuki or Daihatsu, because even though the allowance to do so is only valid for imports that won't fit a proper size plate, they're likely to get a pass.

But I'm a great believer in not giving out blatant excuses to be pulled over. Obey the little rules, and get away with breaking big ones.

I shove my front plate in the windscreen because I'm a massive twat haha.

The worst part about CA's front plate law is it's a double standard, in any reasonably populated area 'nice' cars can run no front plate no problemo.

The reason that double standard exists?

Because cops aren't going to pull people over who are for sure going to fight it in court.
