If they were truly Washington plates, then the only other possibility is Reviver Plate. I believe they are rolling out testing now in Washington State. Reviver Plates are electronic license plates.

Otherwise: California has black novelty plates. Oregon has deep navy blue Pacific Wonderland novelty plates, and New Mexico has black novelty plates with chili peppers.

Probably spot on here. California has had black throwback plates for awhile now. Oregon has their dark navy blue Pacific Wonderland throwback plates. New Mexico has black novelty plates with chilis.

How about you offer services, no strings attached! They have been offered services, but refuse to accept the terms and conditions.

This makes the most sense to me especially if your driving around Tacoma Seattle often. I'm sure the LeMay family and friends, associates etc. Have some kind of access to them already at least temporarily.

A fellow redditor, u/daeedorian shared a wonderful photo of theirs in the comments of my previous Sol Duc Falls painting. Their photo is of the falls from the opposite direction and I figured I def should paint it as well! This is a 10x8” gouache on paper!

Continuing with this 2nd grade analysis, why have any laws at all?

My city just added more fees for licensing. Maybe it's time to register my 10 year old Ford in Montana.

Agree. FWIW, many denominations require this of their clergy already. Independent, non denominational churches may be different.

With the Mormon practice of the elders having one on one sessions with children where they're "interviewed" about sexual matters, I bet there is a "the call is coming from inside the house!" type situation as well.

Trivia question the other night: How many different license plates are available in Montana?

At least 235.

They could be vehicles owned and operated by the state perhaps? I know federal plates are typically solid white with black lettering/numbering.

No clergy confession should be more protected than the rights of an abused child. To say otherwise is ignorant and egregious. The Mormon church is going through a lawsuit because for six years the Mormon clergy knew that a man was raping his two young daughters, but never reported it. Protecting the confession rights of criminals over the safety of children is the definition of evil from these so called religions.

What law could you pass that criminals would follow?

It's not just luck. In the last 2 years, a lot of patrol officers just aren't lighting people up for stuff like this, so what you're telling me isn't surprising at all.

What naive individual downvotes this 💯 true statement!?!

oh, I guess they got lucky then as they’re jdm guys and have never been pulled over

Seen that too, but deliberately changing the face of a plate is against the law, for a very good reason.

I know people who painted or spray painted it black with colored stickers over the letters, usually white then put tabs on it

How do you "legally" black-out a license plate?
