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.
ILikeMyGrassBlue t1_iy03eqh wrote
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?
diatriose OP t1_iy048v3 wrote
No CC. No other markings just a 2-digit number
TwasAKuntNugget t1_iy04aea wrote
Is what is blurred a letter, letter and a number or?
diatriose OP t1_iy04c55 wrote
2-digit number

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

What’s wrong with the frame

Looks like a real plate to me 🤷🏻♂️

From what I can tell, they're well off. That's about it.

They're illegal now

I agree that it’s real. The golden widgets aren’t official
artificialavocado t1_iy07f0t wrote
Ahh gotcha
jwill602 t1_iy07lci wrote
The plate is at least 5 years old, since the tag says 9-17
Cereal-Bowl5 t1_iy07vrq wrote
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
kabrex t1_iy083bu wrote
That was the last year we needed stickers.
ILikeMyGrassBlue t1_iy08646 wrote
Ah, missed that. Still very possible it changed between 99 and 17 though.
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.
jwill602 t1_iy08hiz wrote
Correct, so the plate existed at least that long ago.
diatriose OP t1_iy08qo2 wrote
I checked, they have a totally different plate
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.
WhiskeyandScars t1_iy09401 wrote
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.
billfriedman9987 t1_iy09wi6 wrote
It’s a judge
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.
diatriose OP t1_iy0bcut wrote
They're used on common court judges cars just never seen one on either side before
_melsky t1_iy0cgjd wrote
Ha! It was similiar to the second one down but the only letter/number on it was Q. http://www.papl8s.com/highs/special-fund.html
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.
choptheair t1_iy0d4p0 wrote
You will have to say it like 17 more times before people believe it.

Those good things are fake
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"
gettin_it_in t1_iy0l41d wrote
I think the plate is intended to prevent that from happening lol.

My money is on a President Judge of a statewide court from the Philly area. President Judge Cohn Jubelirer of the Commonwealth Court and President Judge Panella of the Superior Court are both from the Lehigh Valley but maybe they shop in Montco?

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

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

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.

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.

oh, yes, a license plate with a single digit surrounded by two golden crests.
no civilian would ever notice such things.

Or just a clown who puts that there so cops don’t pull them over
_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

If I was state official I’d have an ordinary license plate. The last thing I’d do is have a plate that say ‘hey look at me. I’m special’

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

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.

Blurring license plate numbers makes no sense because they’re meant to be public information
jwill602 t1_iy1xzsz wrote
Correct. Which is how I’m able to date the plate.
jwill602 t1_iy1y0s6 wrote
Correct. That’s how I know how old it is
jwill602 t1_iy1y1wt wrote
Are you from PA? We don’t use the tags any more
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..
