On my way home from work yesterday, the car in the next lane had this license plate:

GTFOOMW

I bet even he was surprised they issued it.

Unless you're knowledgeable of acronyms that just looks like a bunch of random letters.

Which makes you wonder if you could get DHITB or other stuff through.

I occasionally drive by someone on the way home from work with the tag STFU&DRV. Not sure how that one got by. I've been trying to get pics of it. It's in Apex NC.

I've seen "&" on Virginia plates. PA does not allow it but some other states do.

Probably won't work very well unless a lot of people choose similar permutations.

Now if enough people from your state do it you'll be getting tickets for the other guys, and they'll get some for you haha.

Time to start putting polarizing filters over top of the plates.

which would be illegal in TX, but I guess it would only be illegal if you were caught...

I would think it doesnt save you. They'll probably just run a huge list of all similar plates in the system and just use your car model to figure it out.
Those cameras dont take a pic of JUST the plate, they usually get enough of the car to help ID it.
