Reply to comment by ILikeMyGrassBlue in Saw this license plate and was intrigued. What does this mean? by diatriose

So I'd seen ones with the gold jawn on one side or the other but not both sides. I'm perplexed!

Yeah, I’m thinking maybe these are a newer version? That or they’re for some other specific position. The ones on that site I linked are from 99, so certainly possible. Does this one have the CC under that blur?

The plate is at least 5 years old, since the tag says 9-17

That was the last year we needed stickers.

Correct, so the plate existed at least that long ago.

So, it belongs to an appeals level judge who was on the bench in 2017 and who drives an overpriced status symbol bought/leased from a Rt 30 dealership?

Ah, missed that. Still very possible it changed between 99 and 17 though.

It’s possible, but looking at other plates in your link, the fact that it says “visitPA.com” at the bottom instead of something about a court makes it inconsistent with the other designs.

I looked it up and the website was added to seemingly most plates in 2003, so it makes sense it would have it given the tag.

The only license plates I can find with that coat of arms are those court plates I linked. So it seems fairly likely this a newer version of those older court plates (or another similar specific political position). If you have any other evidence, I’m all ears.

My only evidence is that it doesn’t fit with the other plates on the page. I know my state rep’s plate doesn’t have the website and he was elected long after 2003. It says Representative, like the ones in your linked page.

No tags necessary in PA for years. They’ve been discontinued as people were stealing them.

They were discontinued once the PSP plate readers were up and fully running.

Correct. That’s how I know how old it is

Nah; stickers hasn’t been used in years; cops just scan your plate.

jwill602 t1_iy1xzsz wrote

Correct. Which is how I’m able to date the plate.

So they’re driving around with expired plates? Probably a government official then.

Are you from PA? We don’t use the tags any more

No CC. No other markings just a 2-digit number

I thought I was on the Pittsburgh sub until I saw jawn lol, then I realized this was the PA sub.
