I must see a dozen or so cars with out-of-date tags crossing into the USA every time I'm in line to cross into the USA. If the CHP would station themselves on the border and ticket/turn around all illegal cars trying to re-enter the USA, it'd be a huge chunk of change for the CA treasury..

I make my own little stickers for the plates and glue them on so it looks current.

The cabo cops and various other cities must have several of my "items" and I get a big kick out of handing it over or seeing the plate gone.

Two can play this game and it can be fun when you always win.


I've quoted the entire post because, well........I just like it.
Appreciate your creativity.Bigjohn

if you go to a high quality paper place or look around on the INTERNET you can get sheets of super high gloss photo paper and run them through your ink jet. Or even better On canal st in NY you can get sheets of very shiny holograph paper that has a repetitive symbol on it like the statue of liberty, boats, trees, and if you look hard enough Even the outline of states.

google holographic paper or holographic metallic paper

Just be real careful after it comes out of the printer and let it dry completely. You can also give it a spray with high gloss clear coat.

With a scanner and photoshop you would be surprised how creative you can get.

I have never been asked to show a registration card but I am ready to answer "NY does not require one...you just get the sticker for the plate senor"

the late 60's and early 70's were a golden era on canal st, you could get anything down there. We even bought a 50 watt FM radio station complete with antenna that we used for our pirate radio station in NY.

First it was WINO, then WSEX then WEED. Complete with posters we would put up of a big old fashioned mike in the middle of a pot leaf and the flyer said " Turn on to WEED" lasted 2 years until the Feds took all the equipment on a raid. Made the front page of the Herald statesman. Big picture of a cop up in a tree pulling down the antenna.

Those were the days.

I'm interested to know if the people who fake their license tags do the same thing in the US? Or is it that one only does things legally where there may be consequences?
