People with blacked-out plate covers have got to be a part of this problem too. How about setting up checkpoints for this shit? $800 million and apparently all that pays for is to show up after shootings and not investigate.

That would require cops to do their fucking jobs.

A not insignificant amount of obscured license plates have the little FOP badge on the plate. Saw it all the time when I was in South Philly.

The other day I saw a car with a tinted plate cover + FOP plates and FOP sticker. Bit overkill I thought but I guess they gotta check off all the bases

This is so true. The overlap of cars with FOP plates and illegal tint jobs and plate covers is nuts.

It screams, “I intend to break traffic laws, and I fully expect to get away with it. The rules don’t apply to me.”

It’s such a selfish and entitled mentality.

How can you expect the cops to do their jobs if they're not allowed to shoot people for no reason?

Most of the people who use those fucking things also have FOP stickers on them

Lol this is way worse than just letting cops pull people over with sus plates. Turns out people violating the inspection code may actually also be driving illegally. If I get roasted for this comment but "checkpoints" gets by then no one deserves the police policing traffic laws.

Don't even need check points. Just need the cops to fucking patrol an area and then actually stop cars with obscured plates. Then you can ding them for expired inspection or emissions and impound the vehicle. One less shitty driver on the roads.

A couple weeks ago, I saw a tinted plate cover with a sticky note covering up the last two digits 😂

Honestly last thing I want is a Philly cop with the authority to set up checkpoints, we wouldn’t have a large enough tax base to pay for city services
