      Honestly despite how I hate cops, it would not really make me think less of them if they decided to avert their eyes because they don’t get paid enough for this shit. Cops have been killed by sovereign citizens.

        There are too many brown or poor people to permanently disfigure or murder for them to get into it with a delusional white person, I guess.

      I have two theories:

      1. zzz is a way to indicate sleep. By putting z’s on the plate it subconsciously tricks the peace agents or w/e they call police into believing the traveller in this conveyance is a fellow sheeple, not awake to the true inner workings of the world.

      2. They’re a fan of ZZ Top.

    It wouldn’t shock me considering how stupid so many cops out there are.

        That’s one of the real problems. They’re dangerous enough that a lot of cops won’t do anything about them.

            Pretty much. Make yourself enough of an annoyance, and people are more likely to leave you alone.

            • That’s depressing. Just when you think you’ve found a moral purpose for cops, and it’s the job they shirk.

              Of course, that’s hyperbole. There are far more important and moral jobs cops shirk, like protecting school children from active shooters. Harassing SovCits is pretty far down the list of good things they could be doing.

              So black folks should just start killing cops instead of the other way around and that will mean cops will stop harassing and killing them becase if the scareds ? ?

    I would love to swap that license plate for an identical one, except with the QR code leading to a Rick roll

        It’s just a text code not a url. It reads:

        Do Not Stop, Do Not Detain, Above Diplomatic Status

        … whatever the actual fuck that means.

          LOL. Should put this shit on a getaway van for a robbery and then make a case about unlawful detention. Big brain time.

    I’m in Seattle and at least twice a day I see someone with a temporary tag behind impossibly tinted windows or just straigh no license plate at all.

    I suspect they only bother with it if you have another infraction.

      I was always told only break one rule at a time… Registration a few days over due… Make sure to drive the speed limit… Leaving the bar after a few drinks… Make sure to always use your blinkers…

      Murder is the hard one cause killing a person and improper disposal of a body are 2 crimes and it’s hard to do one without the other.

      /s this is a joke don’t take it too seriously
