Georgia Interstate Scam
At first I thought it was another case of dumb state trooper, of which there are many, many.
But this is a scam, a racket for the county. If this were my daughter I'd have been out for blood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6Zu...Ah5bzMpPBjqZ4g

I might sympathize with the cop on the second one. How often would you come across a Lambo from Dubai with paperwork no one has ever seen. He did let him go too

Seems like in the Lamborghini stop the cop had the attitude guilty until proven innocent.
In Michigan, if you have an antique plate on your car that is the year of the car, if you get stopped you will likely end up with an issue with the cop. Reason being is, year of the car antique plates are not listed in DMV records. |

We have Canadian sun bunnies driving down here in Arizona all the time. I've never heard a case where that is a problem. Pretty normal to see that around here.
As far as the antique plates and using the model year plate on a car, I used to do that for years on our classics when I lived in Ohio. You carried an affidavit in the car along with the original antique plates. Even with that, I was pulled over maybe 3-4 times over a period of about 20 years. Always by a state trooper, never by any county police. The state troopers would always question the model year plates on the car, as you would expect them to since they don't even use an expiration sticker of any kind. Once I would show them the affidavit and the real plates that were kept in the trunk of the car, all was good. The state troopers simply weren't aware that Ohio allowed the use of model year plates on a classic car when registered with antique plates. It was never a big deal and they were all very polite. |

They time out and drop off after that, which is when you provide the officer the "blue slip" from the Secretary of State describing how the system works. No one has said anything about it yet but it seems to me that we are in the same situation with trailer plates and any other non-expiring registrations. K

If you get stopped by a LEO and he does a check on your plate, it won't show up as a valid licensed auto. I've been stopped twice for a supposed invalid plate, even though I had a valid and current registration, but it didn't show up in DMV records. This was on a car that I had just licensed the year before. The only way they could verify it was to contact the outside contractor. Screwy system, but it is what it is. I'm not sure if the same thing holds for the regular antique plate, but it is the situation for the year of car plates. Last edited by Vern B; 02-09-2020 at 11:08 PM. |

I actually still have the Ohio Antique plate on the nomad that I registered it with back in about 1984-5 or so?? One time registration fee for $13 at that time, and no stickers on the plate. I daily drove that car for years like that and never got pulled over in that one. Only got pulled over in the cars that I had the model year plates on them, I would imagine because they stand out a bit.

I've got 60's plates on some of my older cars that stand out also and obvious what they are. My issue is I have one on an 87 El Camino and that plate was used for many years with just a tab add on every year to make it legal. When you look at it you sort of think of it being more recent and maybe someone would cheat and try to use it on a car. That's obviously what the LEO's thought because I got stopped twice for doing nothing just because of the plate. I have since switched to a regular plate because I'm using the car as a daily driver in the summer. |
