probably just driving like a dick, but these days the hopes and thoughts that they can confuse the antichrist-like nefarious flock cameras that are all the rage in the increasing environment of surveillance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">And it\u2019s always white males that do this.\u00a0 Every time I\u2019ve noticed one of these types of plates and I\u2019ve managed to pull adjacent to the vehicle, it\u2019s always been a white guy.\u00a0 It\u2019s not hyperbole, and it\u2019s not just an isolated incident.\u00a0 Definitely more than this one instance, but maybe not quite ten times, but every single time I\u2019ve seen a deliberately confusing vanity tag, it\u2019s been a white guy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Clearly, this is the white man\u2019s equivalent to the blackout license plate covers that black people who want to drive like dicks put on their cars; the intention is the same, but the approaches are different.\u00a0 Black folk don\u2019t want The Man and Big Brother to have it easy identifying their whips while they drive however the fuck they want to, so they use dark covers and obscurers, but in only the way Whitey can do, white folk do it by hiding in plain sight with completely legal, albeit hard to decipher, vanity plates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">I have a friend that\u2019s in law enforcement, and they said that modern plate readers have no issue in being able to identify vague license plates, so really the intention of them is to confuse other people on the road.\u00a0 The irony is that white or black, people who want to act like they\u2019re trying to obstruct and make their license plates less identifiable, only draw more scrutiny to themselves by going to the lengths they do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">If I saw an orange Ford Bronco whose license plate was a state-issued CWN5637, I\u2019ll have forgotten it by the next light, but regardless of if I\u2019m accurate or not, I\u2019ll remember seeing I1II11I or whatever such combination actually is and know that the guy driving it is probably some entitled white guy who drives like a douche.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While I was commuting to the office one day, I noticed a Ford Bronco that had a vanity license plate that consisted of nothing but 1\u2019s and I\u2019s.\u00a0 So if you can picture this description in your head, you can imagine that it\u2019s basically a vanity plate with seven straight lines at a quick glance.\u00a0 &hellip;
