The plate reads “Califas” on top, which is Spanish slang for California.

The numbers are clearly handpainted - crooked, different sizes and in some cases, flipped.

The big rig was only going 15 to 20 miles an hour when it was pulled over by a Moorpark senior deputy.

The driver, who police say appeared to be under the influence of narcotics, had an active warrant out for a hit-and-run.

He was arrested for DUI and possession charges, and for driving without a license.

The truck had to be towed away because it was unsafe to drive.

Now I know what happened to the frying pan in the “this is your brain on drugs” adverts.

It’s not Moorpark, it’s Moop park

What plate has the flipped numbers?

Yeah, I’m not sure why the reporter said that. While they’re clearly “ off”, there’s none that I would call flipped.

I think Cali should design their official plate that way.

Maybe the 9 was supposed to be a 6? lol

You would think just going on the web and grabbing an image file and just printing it at a fedex or whatever would be the best course of action. Then you could glue it to a random piece of metal and get away with it for a while. Maybe even put a real plate number on there of a similar vehicle that you see parked someplace. Then just steal a registration sticker and fly under the radar forever. The going super slow while drunk/high in a janky vehicle with no license probably didnt help though lol.

Maybe there was another plate, and some of the numbers didn’t match the plate in the photo?    I swear I looked at that image five times.

Back in California I had a friend that couldn’t afford the registration on his CJ5. He had a friend in the skater clothing business, a business that frequently made their stickers for promoting the company. So they printed up some tags for the Jeep that were pretty convincing. But when pulled over the game was up as the tags obviously didn’t match the expired registration.

There was a time when I couldn’t afford insurance. My insurance company had once faxed over some documents, so the page was a little fuzzy. I duplicated that document in Word, changed the dates,  then photocopied it multiple times until it looked like a blurry fax. It actually worked, but again it was the expired registration that had me parking the car and taking the bus.

The 8, maybe?

Now that I look at it again, that zero is also suspect.
