Police: “Papers please. What are you doing driving outside your allotted area??

The plate is on there for a reason (and of course now they are scanned automatically by photo-electric equipment). I can see this being enforced nationally before long.

The county name on a plate also shows whether a vehicle is registered locally or not, which may be relevant in identifying suspicious behavior.”

and let police pick on those out of county types who were dumb enough to cross the county line.

“While a person who sees a driver commit a crime may not be able to remember a complete license plate number, the person may be more easily able to recall the county name,”

Maybe, but I'd think they even more likely remember the licence plate frame, especially if it had a fancy logo on it.

“Yet ANOTHER DUMBA$$ Iowa “Law””

No, the judge is just making it easier for kids to play the “99 Counties” game.

So he was not framed because his plate was framed?

The Iowa “Supreme Court” is about as worthless as tits on a Boar!

NY has parkways. Only non Commercial vehicles allowed. You can drive an F 150 or ram 1500 or the equivalent with passenger plates. You can not get passenger plates on F-250 350 or Ram 2500 or 3500 due to the weight. Thus you cannot drive on the parkways.

Many guys I know put the oversized frames over their plates so that the word COMMERCIAL on the bottom of the plate is no longer visible. An astute cop picks this up quickly as there are other give away points on commercial plates. If the cop wants to get you he will

Often referred to as the "You're not from around here, are you, boy" clause...

Quite a few people use wide tag frames to cover up state names while in other states, especially with so many states having so many different kinds of subdued colors on tags. It allows more for hit-and-run escapes, when they’re out of state. Very obvious in tourism states, where many out of state tags are often seen.

I’ve heard of drivers getting into trouble for “obstructed license plates” in other locals. One reason why I never put obstructive frames on my car.
