Using it to just try and avoid tickets without supporting what is stands for just makes you a douche jerk.
I disagree. Why exactly should someone willing to pay $2500 for membership in a cop club get to avoid being pulled over and get out of tickets, while everyone else has to pay? That's corrupt, and buying fakes is a just reaction to that corruption because it dilutes the effectiveness of the real thing.

The most honorable thing would be for all of us to get fakes so that the people who think they're buying their way out of tickets just waste their money and the corrupt organization that sells those frames gets nothing.

That's not the same thing at all. Claiming recognition for honorable military service is nothing like claiming membership in a corrupt organization for the purpose of flouting the law. Last I checked the armed services didn't sell license plate frames with a wink and a nod that you wouldn't get tickets if you buy one.

Not supporting that the frames be used by anybody really. But find it offensive that somebody would lay claim to doing something that they did not. The money raised by the real thing does go to a noble cause (whether people like the cops or not) so at least the douches that paid for the real thing are helping no matter what their intentions were. The bloody frames should not exist for anybody.


Don't think it maters anyway because from all the reading I just did on the subject the sales of the fakes has pretty much destroyed any belief that the cops had in the things anyway.


I can go online right now and buy 1,000 different "I am a vet" items. No the military doesn't have an arraignment for them but people that never served a minute do buy and use them all the time. It is not the source of the materials that offends me it is the people that use it.

Unless you have a membership card, once they pull you over, they'll write you up for EVERYTHING.

Real and fake screw the plates I don't have $2,200 to blow on those frames. Maybe diamond self defense mechanism frames that are worth $2,200. In the future though. And if I was made of money I would give 10k for the best CHP Frames and protect your lives by following the law . Ooh rah @Tcoat

Not worth it. I'd rather switch seats if able to with my xgf and have her cry herself out of tickets. Now that girl could act! Being adorably cute was a plus!


Don't forget they'd probably ask for proof of your membership. I would! No free meals!



I'd rather spend that money on buying those new CA yellow or black license plates (vintage) and small hidden mods.

The new plates, which will cost $50, can be ordered by anyone, regardless of their car's age. Black plates can be personalized, like other plates, and plates will also be available for motorcycles.

For the record, that's pretty much how I read into your OP. Nothing wrong with a little harmless irreverence.

I respect and donate to the cause of protecting.

However, dealerships have something unique in mind. Since it's already prestigious, why not slap it on the car. Who wouldn't want to donate to CHP at a buyer who's buying an R8.


The lack of respect is controversial, slap it on the vehicle or not slap it on the vehicle and have Tcoat address to them the coat of arms CHP

Wasn't implying anything to the contrary. So do I - by paying my taxes.

There's nothing controversial about our first amendment right to poke fun at whatever we choose.
