Falsies


According to MassLive.com, a state police trooper pulled over a 20-year-old driver on the interstate this week, after spotting the weird license plate on the back of her car. As in, it’s not a license plate, it’s a drawing, done on a piece of cardboard with colored markers.

It did include the words “Massachusetts” and “The Spirit of America” drawn in blue pen, because if you’re going to make a fake license plate, why go with another state than your own, right?

Alas, “That’s a big no-no,” said one state trooper.

The driver wasn’t arrested but will have to show in court for charges of driving with a suspended license and attaching false plates.

Damien's note: Perhaps the artiste was unfamiliar with the idea of brass rubbings, in which case she might have been able to produce a more likely counterfeit.
