Question

I live in washington state so only the back plate is needed..

But i am getting a custom one for the front.

Can the police do anything about this if they see it???

Answer 1

They can harass the h**l out of you and you will be sorry for this for the rest of your life.

Answer 2

Sure, they would love to see that when you are driving around, I would pull you over and be nice as punch to you, ask how your day is going and what about the weather, then pick the biggest fight I could, but make it look like you started it, lots of fun.

Answer 3

I like that, it seems cool! I doubt it though..

But yeah Great Name...I just hope you're not black..or Hispanic..

Answer 4

Yes, they can.

Answer 5

The DMV will not issue a license plate that says that.

Edit: Ok, so it won't be the legal one saying that.  My advice is to not do that, and get one that doesn't scream stupid for you.

I believe they can do something about it.

You getting a custom one like that will only tell the world how stupid and immature you are.

Edit: If a cop winds up dead, you'll be one of the first suspects.  Just grow up, huh?

Chances are that no one will even make a custom plate saying cop killer.

By the way, you probably won't be beating any tickets with that on your car.  

Children nowadays...sheesh.  You are probably 14 yrs old but act like you are 10.

Answer 6

First of all, why do you hate the police? One to many traffic tickets? Cmon.

Second, I doubt they will give you that.

Third, you'll get attention real quickly and wished you'd had not gotten it.

Fourth, the cops don't take that kind of stuff lightly, it's like one of your own friends who you work with getting killed, and police work is dangerous.  

Answer 7

I don't think it's legal to have a plate other then the one registered with the vehicle affixed to a car. Additionally, while they might not be able to do anything to you specifically, something like that can wind you up dead ... More so, I'm not sure what your grudge against the police is exactly, but take it from someone who isn't fond of them as well, that isn't a good idea.

You will be the primary target of every detective and uni that remembers your actual plate number, and response times might slow up for your residence. The balls in your court on this one, but think about the repercussions prior to getting that plate.

Answer 8

The fact that you even think that is cool, is really sad. You will get hassled for it, that's for sure. And you should. What a disrespectful thing towards people that put their lives on the line everyday. Contrary to what many believe, not all cops are jerks.

Answer 9

Yes it is illegal to put anything on the front that looks like a license plate when it isn't one.

The reason for the law is to prevent any confusion about what your real plate number is.

Answer 10

OK, so you get pulled over and the police officer comes up to your car and goes in front and looks at your front plate while checking for broken headlights, or other "fix-it ticket" type things.

What are you going to say to him? Do you think he's going to appreciate seeing that on your car? He's out risking his life to keep people like you safe and that's the thanks he gets?

Not only is your idea not funny in any way, shape, or form...you are putting a giant target on your car as soon as a police officer sees it. They will put your real license number in their computer system and you will get pulled over every time they see you.

Police officers have no sense of humor when it comes to things like that and you will regret it. Go ahead and take your tickets to court. Do you think the judge is going to think it's funny? You won't beat it.  

Answer 11

Why not just paint a target on your forehead?  Cops love a smart azz punk like you, its why God invented the night stick.  And the funny thing is if someone stole your car the first thing you'll do is go bawling to the cops "someone stole the car my mommy bought me.  Pleas find my mommy's car Mr Policeman."

Answer 12

You like to get lots of tickets for doing 26 in a 25 mile zone?

Answer 13

Why dont you just drive around and yell here I am to get your attention.... I think what you want is very sad and disappointing but very indicative of young hoons today

Answer 14

Your license plate has to be the same as your back one in washington state. That's why they give you two plates. So, your charges would be, no front license plate, threatening a commissioned officer (bout 3 years probation or 18 months jail.) I dare you to put "cop killer" on the front of your car... They'll probably also charge you with criminal traffic, if one of your tail lights is out they'll write you for that too... if your car matches a description given out earlier, you'll probably be arrested. You'll probably get every infraction possible to give for what you're driving. I highly advise against it. And you can't have 2 license plates on the front of your vehicle unless it is a commercial vehicle in which case can be registered in different states... That's just asking for trouble.

Answer 15

Why would you want to do that?

I don't think the police would be too  pleased to see it.

Answer 16

they'll probably right you a speeding ticked if your even a little bit over the limit.
