That’s a plate is a prop used in television/films where you want the car to clearly look like it’s from Mass.

Maybe it was used in CODA?

They are probably from out of state and don’t want to end up like Ben.

The sharpness of its reflection in your filthy hood is impressive.

There's a guy on YouTube who goes around I think NYC busting people that intentionally obscure/remove/fake their plate. Sometimes it's as easy as sticking a leaf over one number and the license plate scanners are "fooled".

few years back when I registered a new car I put the plates on backwards so rear plate didnt have a sticker, got pulled over within 24 hours on 290 and had it pointed out to me by the trooper. This dude aint gonna get away with it for long especially w plate readers in all cruisers now state and local....

Interesting, I registered my car in Feb but the last digit on the plate is 1. I guess it must've been a leftover or something

Not sure what you mean. That’s a perfectly legitimate issued license plate.

Now that you mention it, it does. I've never noticed it, even when looking at the thing to check the format. Definitely just a leftover plate or something then

When they issued green plates it was all the numbers on the left and all the letters on the right separated by a dot in the middle. After using all those combinations they switched to multiple other formats. Q could be mistaken for a 0 and I can be mistaken for a 1, so they aren’t used on formats when the letters and numbers aren’t as easily divided. O is also not used for this reason.
