A police officer with the California Highway Patrol (CHP) Merced Station pulled over a driver on a road on Wednesday October 10 when the officer saw that the license plate was handmade which is a violation of state law. The driver of the auto told the police officer that he or she since the gender of the auto was not released to the public; What likely happened is that the driver will pay a fine for using a fake license plate on the back of the auto.

I hope it is a hefty fine. It's fraud too I would think.

That’s going to be a hefty fine. They don’t play around with stuff like that.

The owner of that car, might have had their number plate stolen, but to think that they could get away with driving with a fake plate, is pretty dumb, and this action has now got them into further strife.

To add to the irony, the next news story will be that he paid his fine with a fake check.
