Whoopsie! Why not make them in date when you print off the fake plates? Doesn't even have a manufacture on there

Here is something similar I catch every now and then.. This guy had two different plates.
If your state only needs one plate on the back, like OK, you can have a second plate on the front as long as it does not have a month and year sticker on it.
I had an OK legal on the back and a Nebraska fake on the front for the football game last year.

Just started seeing paper/cardboard temporary Plates in MN this year. The 21 day temp yellow paper in the left rear window is finally gone.
Grab the popcorn guys! HPD on their way
This is just the fake plate, but at next doors house which is a "Cram as many families into the trainwreck house" type of deal
They just left before the police came, one day

Printing out fake plates is a waste of time. Just join the non-tax-paying crowds who don't bother to renew their two-and three-year-old registrations and who drive around with no insurance. Long gone are the days that anyone cares. The government will just print more money (or borrow it from China)!
And it’s about time! Best part is the new temp plates are in the DVS database nearly immediately and can be queried by the PD just like a regular plate! No more needing the VIN to identify a temp plated vehicle. Crooks used to cut out a chunk of a yellow pages book to stick in the back of their tinted windows. Couldn’t tell it was a fake unless you were right on it!

It was parked right around the corner, police showed and 10 mins later they are gone... I was hoping for a tow truck
Just got back from the police office complaining about this, I got told that if HPD see a vehicle with a fake temp tag, they will let the owner know its fake, and confirm the VIN isn't stolen and move on
There is no repercussions, and they will not charge you, arrest you, OR EVEN CONFISCATE THE PLATE, yes, you are free to drive around the street, use tolls, commit crimes, all with a fake license plate. It doesn't even matter.
(Despite the fact its a class B crime that faces up to 180 days jail time)
Sometimes I wonder why we even bother calling the police...

It depends, of course. The police can use the fake plate as a reason for a traffic stop. Which in turn potentially gets them someone with an open warrant or they find something else to act upon.
It is a shame that so many jurisdictions are going to selective enforcement of the law. Some places have stated they will not prosecute certain crimes. All under the excuse that they are 'not violent' or 'due to overcrowding', etc. If the law is wrong, change it. If the law is not equitable, change it. It is the Legislator's responsibility to make the laws. The police and prosecutors job is to enforce, not make , laws.
Saw thread for paper plates. Was wondering if it was Texas or maybe even Houston. Living in Houston, paper plates are everywhere...

Here in California, it's unfortunately too common to see these infractions and misdemeanors being carried out with impunity:
- Non-registered plates with one, two and three year old stickers on them
- Being non-registered, they are also being driven by uninsured motorists
- Plates with their reflective coatings scraped off
- Highly tinted and opaque windows
- Putzes driving in the HOV lane where they don't belong

Here is California it's about a $1100 fine to purposely obscure a plate from LPR, but there's a market for various products which removes the reflective coating. Just as window tinters are willing to sell and install opaque films but tell their customers it's on them if they are caught.
Remember the plates in the OP? Got another with the same plate number, going about 65 mph in a residential 30
