    Default How does one get away with this?

    I see a lot of license plates with wrongly placed yr stickers, tinted covers, etc but this takes the cake.
    Basically painted their plate white. How do you get away with this long term?!
    What's the ticket? $78 illegal equipment or is it higher?

    Hard to tell if the plate starts with 'W'.

    Stickers don’t matter anymore.

    There are some plates where all the paint comes off. Certain range. Not sure what it is though.

    I came across this a few years back. The person had manipulated one of the numbers to look different. A "B" or an "8" or something to look like a 3 IIRC. I took a picture of it and sent it to the police to ask if it was illegal or not. They fed me some line, but I never heard anything back on it. I will see if I can dig it up somewhere.

    Was pulled over last year for a license plate cover because it "obstructs view" of the plate when it gets dirty...not sure how that is different than a dirty license plate? Also remember in my mid 20's being pulled over and boxed in by a second unit for having the wildrose on the plate covered with a sticker because it was defacing or something laughable like that.

    So yes, has to be pure luck they haven't been ticketed, because it seems like anything to do with a plate is grounds for questioning.

    Agreed. I just think, this guy will get pulled over for speeding and walk away with other tickets at the same time.

    There's been at least two batches where the paint comes off. You can get them exchanged for free apparently.

    Also Magic Eraser does a great job of removing the red.

    I don't think the police really care about covering of plates unless you are getting pulled over for something else to which they will write up a 2nd ticket. I have seen so many people with blatantly dark tinted covers over their plates that you have to accept that while against the law it's not something overly enforced. Certainly nothing like BC and Ontario where you won't last long driving around without a front plate before getting ticketed.

    This is a lot like window tint... rare that you will be stopped for just that (im sure some have!) but once youre stopped for something else, youll get nailed for it.

    It's like following CoVid rules. Make the rule and most people will follow it.

    NE is high because of the people who live there, many of them are multi family homes and have jobs in other high risk/infection facilities like meat plants and warehouses.
