    Strange License Plates / Car mods

    • License plates are a tricky issue. Rules and regulations for unmarked police cars vary greatly from city to city, and state to state. Some things to look out for are:
      • No letters in the plate number
      • “Exempt” or “XMT” along the side of the plate
      • Obscured plates
    • Car mods are more straightforward. Look out for:
      • Extra antennae
      • Extra lights, especially pairs of lights, where they normally wouldn’t be
      • Push bumpers
      • Dark window tints
