I am not sure what gets you pulled over in this state.

I don’t want to try too hard to find out, but it seems even going 20mph over isn’t enough.

I have also been pulled over for that. It was literally a "Barry Nissan " frame. That was like 25 years ago for me.

It’s not quotas it’s just that the dmv is trying to be compliant with what is required for automatic toll collection aka easypass

Easy pass is up on the windshield & has nothing to do with license plate frames.

When people who don’t have a transponder try and blow off the tolls, the camera needs to see their license plate. That’s what I was talking about. Duh!

Almost everywhere is transitioning to toll by mail even without EZ pass, and license plates being sorta generic and uniform helps.

Anecdotally: I had a smashed up plate for a while and never got tolled by mail! Those were the daaaaays

Is this recently though? People used to get pulled over for all sorts of stupid shit back in day, but in the last 5-7 I never see or hear about people getting pulled over for anything. Hence the rampant amount off asshole and straight up dangerous drivers on the road.

From what I've heard from my parents, driving home from a bar. My father is basically the "designated driver" since he refuses to drink alcohol, and cops pulled him over twice in a night. He just showed them his iced coffee and was like "yeah, you had a good shot given how many people just left the bar, but I wasn't it." XD

I once saw someone get pulled over for driving through the emergency lane to avoid a traffic jam on the 6

Drive a car that gives them reasonable suspicion that you’re a minority
