When I was a kid, NY issued two plates, but only required one (talk about ripe for abuse) and personal plates (my fire department membership was proudly displayed on my front plate) abounded.
Speaking of abuse, my friend "Lenny" bought a car, no tags, no title, no nothing, and we drove it to his back yard from about five miles away (I wasn't one of the drivers, I was just a passenger) We took the front tag off one of the other guys' car, and put it on Lenny's, and drove on over there. If a cop had noticed, it might have been pretty interesting, two cars with the same plates.
Very interesting indeed. I recently purchased an automobile. I received new plates for it about two days before my current plates were transferred. So now I have an extra set of plates and registration for my car. But the LEO’s now run the plate number before they actually speak with you. So if the plates are not on the car description you are in deep trouble. My extra plates and sticker are going in the garbage where they belong.
