Everyone's so busy thinking about the decal stickers that nobody seems to have noticed the lack of a number plate on the truck.
There are many states where trucks only need one plate, and they put it on the front.
Now the supposed reason is that you might have a trailer attached sometimes. But since most truck drivers rarely ever haul with a trailer, the reason is pointless.
In my experience, white dudes follow this "rule" here and people of color put the plates on the back, you know because cops are racist pigs.
This is Marion, SC where you are required a single license plate on the rear of the vehicle.
I know of no state that requires only one plate, where you can put it on the front.
Kentucky for one. I know that cause I dated a cop's daughter out there. Thankfully she decided to go fuck some other dude, so the dad wasn't mad at me.
Kentucky Statutes 186.170 – Display of registration plates, insignia, clearly states
the owner shall have the receipt issued by the cabinet through the county clerk constantly in his possession, and shall display the registration plate conspicuously upon the rear of the motor vehicle...
The law does use the word "his" so maybe it is just men that need to though?
I dunno. Maybe that passed since 2016 when I left. When I left, having a single plate in your windshield was acceptable, provided you were the correct color of skin tone.

I for one am tired of tarnishing the good name of pigs by associating them with cops.
Pigs give us ham, and pork, and bacon. Pigs are at the center of every good barbeque. Pigs eat garbage and produce wonderful cuts of meat. Pigs are wonderful, smart creatures and don't deserve to be cast down by permanent association with the worst and dimmest.
Cops are locusts. Inedible, swarming creatures that descend upon decent folk and blight all they touch.

Is this more shit posting or are you serious?
It's for trucks over a certain weight rating. Since most of those trucks will have trailers or large boxes on them, there's no need for that plate
And states with outsourced DMVs play the trust game with folks saying their trucks are a certain weight when they aren't.
The rating is about how much you plan to haul, not what truck you have. It's all about taxing the loads on the road.
It is common for people to reg their truck as commercial in MO for instance. Thanks for being a dick. https://dor.mo.gov/motor-vehicle/titling-registration/fees.html
Well, yeah. If they don't and are hauling more weight than their plates allow, the highway patrol will give them a ticket. If I wanted to haul over 3 tons of weight with my Tahoe, I'd have to have commercial plates even though it's not being used as a commercial vehicle.
Until fairly recently, all trucks were licensed with the "COMMERCIAL" rated plates in MO... Even the show truck I had in the early 2000'w had to have commercial plates, and the most it ever hauled was detailing equipment.
Yes, this is true, but what is also true is application of the law, who and who isn't policed. It is more often people of color getting these tickets.
Did you ENHANCE the photo or something? There's numbers on it, they're not readable though.
So you prefer death to cum? I can respect that. I think it's a stupid hill to (literally) die on, but I can respect that.
It would be better if he was actually pulled over. They are in the middle of an intersection not the side of the road.
Their lights are on, the pigs probably rolled up behind him at a red light, took a couple minutes to finish reading the line and then decided to pull him over.
I know in some places (EU) and maybe even some American states that law does exist, however judging by the truck and the cop car this image was taken in the south. In my home state of Georgia the only requirements to register a vehicle are two headlights, two taillights and turn signals on the front, back and rear. That's literally it. I have actually seen boats driving down the road sitting on top of a truck chassis. In fact those rules get even more lax if the vehicle only has three or less wheels in which it only needs 1 light and 1 brake with turn signals in the front and back.
