That have fake/modified plates? I’ve seen fake/expired temp tags being sold in $bigcity Facebook groups.

It’s probably because as another commenter said not worth their time.

Seems like NYC has been battling this for years.

I vaguely remember some YouTube vlogger that would walk around and spot the fake/modified/obstructed plate. One obstruction was a leaf. That doesn’t even begin to include the probably illegal tinted covers.

It’s a misdemeanor. Distributing them is a serious felony. They can get the buyers to flip. Don’t see why it isn’t worth their time.

Anyway, what isn’t they are so busy doing? It’s definitely not arresting shoplifters, fare evaders, public deficaters, or those that engage in aggressive solicitation.

The DA won’t prosecute any of those crimes unless it is large enough to be I the news and then it’ll be thought about.

So they have plenty of time on their hands, right?
