Anonymous Coward User ID: 81386669 United States 04/23/2022 05:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Is possession of *cloned* license plates a felony or a misdemeanor? Inkjet printers can really print an incredible image these days. The one thing about license plates is that they are embosses. How about use a 3D printer to make a plastic shell with the appropriate level of embossment and then inkjet print the rest of the plate? That way you have a cloned plate for an appropriate vehicle that is not going to be reported stolen and will pass any automated vehicle scanner. It probably won't pass a close inspection by a smart cop, though.
What do you think? A better idea than stealing tags? |

Well, if you have registration or inspection stickers on your plates, that's another couple charges to throw on the stack, plus the fines, fees and late registration, Plus The 3d printer. There is a solution. But this is the wrong target. |

So, something like this, I think. Print the cloned plate onto an actual piece of sheet metal. Create the embossment using a method like this: [ link to www.youtube.com (secure)] It should be quite realistic. |
