I had an experience once with someone stealing my entire rear plate, the one with the expiration sticker on it. Luckily for me, I was a month away from a new registration, so I only had to pay for a month. My co-worker had her plate stolen a week later, in the same lot. She had just registered her car, so she had to pay it all over again. The parking lot was across the street from the downtown Metropolitan Police Station. A year later, I was pulled over for insurance lapse and the cop took a screwdriver and tried to undo the screws. HAHAHAHA! I super-glued them on the plate when I got the replacement. His remedy? He wrote me a ticket for $1200! This was in ‘96, and that was a LOT of money! I explained the situation to the city manager, and he threw the ticket out and refunded the $100 I had already paid. The next vehicle I got, I got specialized screws for. This time I will do the same, but to prevent someone from trying to take the sticker, I will score it on the diagonal.
Considering all of this data is stored on a computer ,you do have to wonder why we have to display anything.
The roads are lined with cameras, that read the licence plate, linked to the main computer system that flags up violations to all nearby patrol cars.
Suppose it keeps some bureaucrat in work.
And with that, dear fan, I am trundling off to bed.
Have a good night morning!
