    Like the cop has sniper optics scanning each car for your out of state plate. Don’t drive like an idiot and most people would never notice your plate.

    Also I’d be wary of anything that the “political science professor at Hamline University” says…

    “A state must honor and respect laws from other states,” he notes. “I get married in Minnesota, I travel down to Florida, does Florida have to recognize my marriage? Yes, it does. I don’t have to get remarried down there.”

    This is a well known problem for those who have a common law marriage. They’re often no recognized in states that don’t support the practice.

      Oh you mean like the license plate scanners they have mounted in their cruisers just sitting and scanning license plates passing by all day?

        Ah right, forgot there’s a part of your license plate that tells them your skin color.
