What? If any cop sees you without a plate you’re getting pulled over immediately.
- pirates 3y agoI’ve seen two cars driving without plates within 5 miles of my house just this week. Do you see police officers every single time you drive anywhere (or walk, bike, bus, whatever)? I know I don’t. And even if you do see one, they might have multiple reasons they’ll cite for why they didn’t stop X vehicle for Y infraction.
- altairprime 3y agoI also see at least one car without a plate every day I drive in my metropolitan area. Perhaps other areas are more rigorous. But certainly there’s also Portland (Oregon) or Berkeley (California), where the police no longer allow it: https://www.oregonlive.com/crime/2021/06/portland-police-will-no-longer-pursue-minor-traffic-infractions-and-will-limit-car-searches.html https://www.oregonlive.com/crime/2021/06/portland-police-wil... The only time I was stopped for a missing rear plate in my ~week of waiting for new car plates a couple years ago, was once by the state police. I imagine it’s because I had a new car and they were confused about how I ended up without plates, which was definitely an unusual scenario.
