What's next?
They did a article on this mornings local news warning people that NY state police are giving tickets for license plate frames which are illegal in NY. This includes dealer frames, custom frames etc!! Fines are $25dollars plus a $85 state surcharge! Guess that's one way of helping a State that is financially in trouble..

Yeah, this is true here in AZ. If the frame obscures any part of the plate such as numbers or the tax sticker, they will stop you. They are particularly fussy about covering the "Arizona" at the top of the plate. Been a few blurbs about a newly launched crack down. Like the LEOs in AZ can't tell it's and AZ plate. It's revenue-ing, pure and simple.

The New York law is specific that it cannot cover either the "New York" at the top or the "Empire State". That's on any car or truck, not just Corvette. Actually, I think that's a national thing. Not just NY.

Knew you were not suppose to cover plate with anything even something clear but never heard of the frame law untill now... Walk thru any parking lot and here in NY and 9 out of ten cars will have a frame around the plate...

Can you imagine it, someone is upside down in their mortgage due to the housing crisis, they just lost their job due to the card house effect of the "recession", and with the job went their medical coverage. They are driving down the street wondering where they are going to sleep that night, and everything they own is piled high inside the car.....and a cop pulls them over and says................"Er, excuse me sir, but that "God Bless America" license plate frame is illegal I'm going to have to give you a ticket"
