[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The answer is probably one of two reasons:

-the tags aren’t fake—you can buy temporary tags from dealerships that are basically just fronts for temp tag sales (see: Texas)

-the tages are fake but you can’t tell—the info isn’t entered into a database so unless you run the VIN you can’t tell the tag isn’t legit. I’d be pretty annoyed if I kept getting pulled over for a VIN check because I have temporary dealer tags. A temp tag isn’t probably cause anyway. [/quote]

First of all, the tags are absolutely fake. Oftentimes they are absurdly fake, like printed off at home.

Second, these ghost cars are a major problem in fighting crime in the district right now. So take them off the streets. I don’t care if it’s more work for the cops and a possible minor inconvenience for people with legit tags. [/quote]

Taking them off the street wouldn’t be equitable and the Council legally prohibited the cops from chasing for traffic violations.[/quote]

Correct. This isn't a rumor we're speculating about. It is explicit and in writing for all to see.[/quote]
