Careful with that one, too - I got pulled over a couple months ago in a small ticket-prone locality for no good reason (was going 30 in a 35 because I saw the cop driving behind me - too suspicious?) and came out of the standard paperwork check with "you need to keep your license plate clean so we can read it" as the official reason for being pulled over. No citation issued. My plate was no less readable at the time than half of the mud-spattered pickups infesting the area. Had across-the-state plates at the time as well, could have been a factor in the nighttime harassment of a clean-cut 30yo white boy in a car that is only moderately loud compared to the Harleys and diesels that rumble past my apartment at all hours. Now have shiny (well, not too shiny) new this-county plates to go along with only emissions check in the state. Whee!
