Woman's CARDBOARD license plate fails to fool the cops

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2743645/Paper-disguise-Woman-banned-driving-pulled-tried-fool-cops-cardboard-license-plate.html

A 20-year-old woman from Massachusetts who was banned from driving took to the road after manufacturing a home-made licence plate for her car.

Writing on a piece of cardboard, she used a red marker pen to draw out letters in the centre of the licence plate before using a blue pen to write 'Massachusetts' at the top and 'Spirit of America' below.

However the forgery proved less-than convincing after officers driving along the I-391 in Chicopee quickly spotted the fake plate.

Her mistake was not including the inspection tag on the upper right corner -- otherwise she'd have gotten clean away with it...

Since she's a repeat offender, taking her driving privileges for a couple of years might send the right message -- along with impounding the car she was driving!

You claim to be a Sovereign Citizen, make up your own country, license your car under the "common law" (which naturally gives you the right to do whatever it is you got pulled over for doing) then tell the cop he has no authority over you when he pulls you over. Guaranteed to work in one out of every 1000 times it's tried.
