Drilling a hole in a license plate

Even a city cop might take time out of his busy day doing real police work to cite and confiscate that plate. :laughing
 
so if holes are not a good thing i guess my repainting the plate was not so great.
same (close to it) colors.

but in twenty years no problems.

and the jeep does have "other" problems. maybe even code volition's. :rofl

not a street jeep by a very long shot. :thumbup

but due to the armor on it, have thought about parking very poorly up front at walmart..and the looks of the fools denting there doors on my tubing...:teeth

I've had to modify just about every bike plate I've owned regarding the mounting points.

As some might verify, I've been pulled over once or twice, maybe as many as 70 times.

Never had that particular issue brought up. I've trimmed the edges off so it would fit a frame/fender/whatever.
Certainly not telling you that you'll never have an issue with it, but as long as the plate is visible and legible, I don't see any problem.
 
Whomp, Whomp

What would a Reserve of done? Taken care of the cite with a smile (we aren't bitter about retirement or wage cuts)....

You guys made my morning!
 
I've drilled mounting holes on the plates on a couple of my cars to a) avoid using an ugly mounting bracket, and b) avoid drilling additional holes in the urethane bumper.
 
Make the bracket fit, not the plate. If for no other reason, it'll look better. Putting extra holes in the plate just looks Micky Mouse.
 
I've seen people make their license plate look 'euro' by folding their plates in thirds, and leaving the ID in the middle, looks like crap but I highly doubt it's legal.
 
Depends on why you're doing it. Law says, " A person who, with intent to prejudice, damage, or defraud, commits any of the following acts is guilty of a felony." So drilling a hole to mount it isn't probably trying to defraud or damage the plate. The plate is made for the purpose of mounting on a vehicle, adapting it to your vehicle's mounting points may be necessary. Drilling holes to turn your "F" into an "E" is not going to fly however.

I can't find anything that says the plate remains the property of the state of California. If it is, is Pick N Pull improperly disposing of state property when they shred cars?

Not legal. Also, you dont own the license plate, the State of California does (unless it's a personalized license plate.)

So, if you cut it or damage it, a good chippie should confiscate it.

Follow-up: So when I moved up here to Oregon, I of course got new OR plates. The CA ones are just sitting in my garage. Am I supposed to send them back to CDMV?

You should have turned them in to the ODMV... OR..... hang them in the garage and throw darts at them. :teeth
 
ODMV didn't say anything about giving the old plates to them. Kinda thought they would have too.

last year I got new plates for my truck. They accidently gave me car plates (6ABC123) instead of truck plates. Later that day or the next they realized the mistake and called me to come get new ones. I don't recall them asking for the erroneously issued car plates to be returned. :dunno
