Probably a current or former PA Supreme Court justice. The gold emblem on the plate is the emblem of the court.

They're not mutually exclusive. Could be a former justice & clown who puts it there so cops don't pull them over.

Does the DMV allow single character vanity plates?

This is two digits. But most do, if you can actually procure one.

I think it’s a judges plate of some sort OP. I found this: https://www.papl8s.com/pa_plate_images_Political.htm

The ones at the top seem pretty similar, though they are a bit older. But that’s the only one I could find with those symbols on there.

diatriose OP t1_iy03m1g wrote

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

ILikeMyGrassBlue t1_iy03sae wrote

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?

jwill602 t1_iy07lci wrote

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

kabrex t1_iy083bu wrote

That was the last year we needed stickers.

jwill602 t1_iy08hiz wrote

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?

ILikeMyGrassBlue t1_iy08646 wrote

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

jwill602 t1_iy091vj wrote

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.

ILikeMyGrassBlue t1_iy0aouq wrote

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.

jwill602 t1_iy0cvzs wrote

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.

mainelinerzzzzz t1_iy0ybmo wrote

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

jwill602 t1_iy1y0s6 wrote

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

DeadSwaggerStorage t1_iy1gyft wrote

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.

point_breeze69 t1_iy1i56w wrote

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

I’m sure if it was pulled over for investigation, the conversation would go, “do you even know who I am?”

I think the plate is intended to prevent that from happening lol.

Is that a step rep or state senator's plate? They get a vehicle allowance benefit too which could explain what they're driving, lol.

I looked up state rep plates and they're different

Allemaengel t1_iy02z2p wrote

Huh, do the state supreme court justices get their own or something?

I've never seen that one before so good question.

BigfootTundra t1_iy1k6xs wrote

I don’t think so. My neighbor growing up was a state rep and his license plate didn’t look like this, though his did look different than the normal plate.

I hope they get pulled over and cited for having that license plate frame. Lol

Cereal-Bowl5 t1_iy06cix wrote

What’s wrong with the frame

That_Checks t1_iy08axj wrote

Even though you can read everything you would need to read; they are illegal. Gotta have some frivolous reasons to pull people over so you can go fishing for more charges.

SgtBaxter t1_iy35apr wrote

They are only illegal if they obscure registration info, and that frame obscures nothing.

Oh actually? When’d that start? I don’t have one but I feel like many people still have the one the dealership tacked on their car

Thank goodness for that brave Philadelphia officer, ridding the streets of scum like that

Philadelphia city police have been banned from pulling over people for “minor traffic infractions”. No tag - no problem. No inspection - no problem. Broken brake light or piddidle - no problem. No wonder Philly is going buck wild.

WhiskeyandScars t1_iy09aud wrote

I mean, I guess they're still technically legal. But if any part of it covers any wording on the plate it's illegal.

The frame says "I dare you to question my license plate frame. Go on..." lollll

gkrash t1_iy21wk1 wrote

Is this a fake / some sov-cit nonsense? It looks kinda like the judge plates, but none I can find have the emblem on both sides.

Additionally, every single one of the govt / specialty plates have text indicating what it’s for in place of the ‘visitpa.com’ at the bottom..

I saw a plate yesterday with just a single letter (Q) but on the left side there was a small square with an owl picture (same as the wildlife conserve one) and a small RC running vertically down the right side of the picture.

Livid-Departure4314 t1_iy0kyip wrote

Most likely a supreme court judge in that state. Its a special plate that is a GIANT FLAG to police to not even think about ticketing this car. Most civilians won't know what it is on purpose. "Security reasons"

djb25 t1_iy16w3t wrote

oh, yes, a license plate with a single digit surrounded by two golden crests.

no civilian would ever notice such things.

_SundaeDriver t1_iy18awq wrote

Are they part of the plate or are they stuck on. It’s the state flag but looks like they put it on themselves
