Everyone's so busy thinking about the decal stickers that nobody seems to have noticed the lack of a number plate on the truck.

So time to get some dick sucked?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

Hey now don't go and give them that much credit

[–] [email protected] 25 points 8 months ago (4 children)

There are many states where trucks only need one plate, and they put it on the front.

Now the supposed reason is that you might have a trailer attached sometimes. But since most truck drivers rarely ever haul with a trailer, the reason is pointless.

In my experience, white dudes follow this "rule" here and people of color put the plates on the back, you know because cops are racist pigs.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

This is Marion, SC where you are required a single license plate on the rear of the vehicle.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I know of no state that requires only one plate, where you can put it on the front.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Kentucky for one. I know that cause I dated a cop's daughter out there. Thankfully she decided to go fuck some other dude, so the dad wasn't mad at me.

Kentucky Statutes 186.170 – Display of registration plates, insignia, clearly states

the owner shall have the receipt issued by the cabinet through the county clerk constantly in his possession, and shall display the registration plate conspicuously upon the rear of the motor vehicle...

The law does use the word "his" so maybe it is just men that need to though?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I dunno. Maybe that passed since 2016 when I left. When I left, having a single plate in your windshield was acceptable, provided you were the correct color of skin tone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

I for one am tired of tarnishing the good name of pigs by associating them with cops.

Pigs give us ham, and pork, and bacon. Pigs are at the center of every good barbeque. Pigs eat garbage and produce wonderful cuts of meat. Pigs are wonderful, smart creatures and don't deserve to be cast down by permanent association with the worst and dimmest.

Cops are locusts. Inedible, swarming creatures that descend upon decent folk and blight all they touch.

Is this more shit posting or are you serious?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's for trucks over a certain weight rating. Since most of those trucks will have trailers or large boxes on them, there's no need for that plate

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

And states with outsourced DMVs play the trust game with folks saying their trucks are a certain weight when they aren't.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The rating is about how much you plan to haul, not what truck you have. It's all about taxing the loads on the road.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Yep, doesn't mean that people do it correctly, or for the right reasons.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Shit posting? No. Look it up. Serious as hell.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Looked it up and you appear to be seriously wrong. Source or GTFO

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

It is common for people to reg their truck as commercial in MO for instance. Thanks for being a dick. https://dor.mo.gov/motor-vehicle/titling-registration/fees.html

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Well, yeah. If they don't and are hauling more weight than their plates allow, the highway patrol will give them a ticket. If I wanted to haul over 3 tons of weight with my Tahoe, I'd have to have commercial plates even though it's not being used as a commercial vehicle.

Until fairly recently, all trucks were licensed with the "COMMERCIAL" rated plates in MO... Even the show truck I had in the early 2000'w had to have commercial plates, and the most it ever hauled was detailing equipment.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Yes, this is true, but what is also true is application of the law, who and who isn't policed. It is more often people of color getting these tickets.

Also the tires stick further than the mirrors ( hard to tell)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

It’s unreadable.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Did you ENHANCE the photo or something? There's numbers on it, they're not readable though.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 8 months ago (1 children)

‘Do you have any idea why I pulled you over today?’

‘Well, I might have an idea.’

[–] [email protected] 44 points 8 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

I want that as a vanity plate

"shot by police" takes on a whole different meaning there

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Hey, it's better than the other kind of shot by the police

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

So you prefer death to cum? I can respect that. I think it's a stupid hill to (literally) die on, but I can respect that.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Aren't the tires not supposed to extend outside of the wheel arches?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I know in some places (EU) and maybe even some American states that law does exist, however judging by the truck and the cop car this image was taken in the south. In my home state of Georgia the only requirements to register a vehicle are two headlights, two taillights and turn signals on the front, back and rear. That's literally it. I have actually seen boats driving down the road sitting on top of a truck chassis. In fact those rules get even more lax if the vehicle only has three or less wheels in which it only needs 1 light and 1 brake with turn signals in the front and back.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The devil really went to Georgia huh

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Everyone thinks Amphibious Boats are cool until one cuts them off in traffic

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

I have never heard that was against the law

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It would be even EASIER to get pulled over if the decal says

I SUCK COPS' DICKS

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It would be better if he was actually pulled over. They are in the middle of an intersection not the side of the road.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Their lights are on, the pigs probably rolled up behind him at a red light, took a couple minutes to finish reading the line and then decided to pull him over.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

they're stopped at a traffic light, not pulled over.
