Has anyone noticed?

That license plates have some sort of "water-mark" on them (at least Mass. and RI. plates)? From a distance and in the right light, you can see a double-helix-like mark down the middle of the plate, and up close there is a circle with the state abbreviation and some numbers and what-not. I suppose it's not really a big deal or anything, I was just wondering how long they've been doing it, because I've never noticed it before.

I've seen it. I think most states have it, but it's one of those things you don't notice unless you're staring at a license plate bored in traffic and go, "Hey, check that out!"

Florida plates have little wangs all around, or at least the old ones did.

I saw it.  Thought it was literally a watermark on in-laws' car from rain dripping down there.  That was a MA plate.  NC has them also.

Ok, good. It's not just me. Indiana truck plates have those and when I saw them I kept thinking that everyone had a broken wire from their plate lights hanging down.

Utah's new plates has the helix as well.



Can't see it in that pic. but hey....CUPCAKES!!!!

Cupcaks.  Because fuck vowels.

Tennessee liscense plates have a similar helical spiral, but, in the context of the picture on the plate, they're supposed to be smoke rising from some kind of fire.

Now I want to get an anti-vanity plate.  Self-deprecating.

AZZKISR, or perhaps IMATOOL.

MASHEEP, that would be mine.

I saw a license plate two weeks ago that was just a little heart symbol.  Apparently you can do that these days.

[Freeky]

...For just their liscence plate?

[Jasper]

Yeah, that was the whole thing.  Just a little heart symbol.

And I've seen 5-pointed stars too.

How can cops look up whether they have tickets or anything? How can that be legal?
