This irrational hatred of livable cities is fascinating to me. These people are so used to their government never helping the people that they assume anything a government does is automatically bad, and livable cities must be part of some nefarious government plot to...destroy cars and make people reliant on the government or something? As if paying rego for a car and having easily identifiable license plates doesn't make you easy to track in your movements. As if people aren't forced to comply by their government already? I've never understood this aspect of conspiratorially minded people. They're always worried about some potential "future government oppression" slippery slope if we ever do anything positive for society. Why are they so obsessed with society being run into the ground to prevent "oppression"? Insert Parenti quote here.
I've seen more than a handful of people driving around these days without license plates actually attached & visible on the backs of their vehicles.
Does that not get them pulled over by the cops? I guess the cops would use some other method to determine whether someone should be pulled over over there.
What I typically see is they attach fake temporary plates to avoid scrutiny. They’re easy to fake, especially in the US where they can fake a state other than the one they live in and thus the cops are less likely to recognize them as fake.
I see. Over here the usual thing to do is to steal someone else's plates and put them on your car.
