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.
