Historical plates any cop problems ?

I was stopped once here in NJ, but I think the cop just wanted to see why there were legs in the air of my backseat while driving down the road. He stopped me and walked up to the car with his hand on his gun, peering into the backseat. I had a prop (stuffed pants with socks and sneakers) that I used to use for car shows (sticking out from under the car) there. When he saw it was only a prop, he relaxed and then started raving about not driving to/from work with historic plates, etc.. He said that my car didnt get state inspections because of the plates and my brakes might be bad. I replied that NJ only check emissions anymore and that my car received better care than most new cars on the road today! If he wanted to give me a ticket, I would have showed up in court to fight it. Judges usually don't have time for cops that write tickets for BS!

Your experience may vary, but if you don't call attention to yourself, it probably won't be a problem.
