God. Imagine if traffic laws and basic rules like window tinting and license plate display were enforced. The ticket money would be flowing like spice from Arrakis.

So much over the to flagrant shit nowadays too, like bike racks that look like they've never held a bike even once, and completely scratching off all the coloring on the state name and numbers.

And that's not getting into straight up missing plates. One time I saw one that was clearly just a six character alphanumeric sequence on regular-ass printer paper. Didn't even bother putting a state name or anything.

Now that sounds like sovereign citizen

I'd vote for a tough on crime platform that was very narrowly "we're going to round up all the license plate scofflaws because there's zero reason to do it that doesn't involve wanting to get away with other crimes". Because damn right it's straight up sov cit behavior.

Look at this shit! Zero fucking chance this was anything other than intentional displacement, look how the rest of the plate is perfectly unbent and unmangled.

Having seen a lot of cars block a lot of buses, I hope this news does not reach the rich entitled drivers who continue to block bus lanes because rules don’t apply to them.

I'm not sure how I feel about this issue. It does sound a bit Orwellian.

Parking in the bus lane is not ok. Don’t want your picture taken? Don’t block 40 people trying to get to work with your car
