Historical plates any cop problems ?

"G DAM YOU turn AROUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!" is what I was yelling to a friend of mine.

We were coming down an off ramp on which a city cop had someone stopped, and was evidently returning to his car, facing me. I have no front plate as I run "year of manufacture" plates which only require one (rear) plate.

He was looking intently as we passed, and evidently the "off color" old plate satisfied him. But my stupid FRIEND had to turn around and rubberneck the cop.

Other than that I've had no problems. I pay full yearly fees plus a small extra fee for having the original plate. I don't remember, 50? bucks a year I think. This gives me "full use" with no worry as to mileage or other restrictions.
