that is an unregistered "front" plate. in cal, only the plate in back gets the stickers (one for month, one for year). current plates have either red or yellow year sticker. front plates are legally required but rarely enforced. ICE is probably stealing front plates to put on their minivans to evade identification.
I tried looking it up using services that work for legit plates, and it came up with nothing. I think this is a 100% fake plate. this is criminal behavior
And they would look like government plates. Either presenting the DHS code of a GXX code. http://www.worldlicenseplates.com/usa/US_XGOV.html https://nmplates.com/images/Pla">GOV.html">http://www.worldlicenseplates.com/usa/US_XGOV.html https://nmplates.com/images/Plates/US%20Government/US%20Government%20license%20plate%20codes.pdf
Which would include at the top "U.S.Government" followed by the plate number for federal government vehicles. For California, it would say "CA Exempt" to denote a law enforcement agency or California government vehicle. Considering this is a run-of-the-mill California license plate, and found on two different cars, in two different states. Laws have been broken.
i'm guessing that could be a reserved plate number in the police database so if someone calls and reports that plate, the police already have the context that it's some federal vehicle. but it also doesn't stand out as abnormal or immediately identifying to a layman as federal or special in some way like one that says "U.S.government" at the top.
My guess is they are custom jobs from some Amazon.com store or something similar. In 1980 CA started with plate 1AAA000 and worked its way up with the leading number changing only after the AAA000 sets were exhausted. The 5 at the front says this is pre-6TPW000 plate(from 2011). Which is the first plate to feature the dmv.ca.gov on the bottom. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_registration_plates_of_California
So you're saying a plate with dmv.ca.gov that starts with a 5 couldn't exist? Could the state have reissued an old plate number to the same owner due to damage or fading?
In my experience when people ask if you mean something you didn't say like that it's a weak attempt to corner you into defending what you didn't actually say. I think your shortcoming is your assumption I was making an implication. I wrote what I wanted to say and there was no implication. Hence why I lead with saying I didn't stutter.
I was only confirming what I thought your point was based on my understanding. Why would I try to make you defend something you didn't say? I was only making conversation. Apparently I misunderstood, can you explain it differently? I reread your OP and based on the info you gave, it still seems like my understanding is correct. Maybe you didn't say that or mean to imply anything and that's where I got off track. I was just working out what you said compared to the plate in the picture.

Could be special plates for DHS, ICE, etc so they can rapidly ID unmarked vehicles.
kahlas
They have those special plates already. They are called government plates. They look like this: http://www.worldlicenseplates.com/usa/US_XGOV.html

Not a tax exempt plate. Are they really government?

If Pritzker is not telling the state police to go after these vehicles, he's just talking and complicit in this shit!
Skawomplious
He knows that will start a shooting war, and he doesn't have enough police.
discostewsm
They have such a massive budget, yet can't afford unique license plates?
cdlong
Affordability is not the reason

most legitimate law enforcement agencies have their own special tags. just sayin'

Fuck you... just sayin'
SwiftyGuy
Does that actually mean that the numbers are actually the same? Never seen two cop cars with the same license plate
Anduie
I'd assume not, but, more to the point, government plates call out the fact this is a government vehicle.

Not necessarily. Most of my agency's unmarked cars use "normal" plates. Still police vehicles operated by police officers.

Once again, on top of being sketchy as fuck, just super fucking dumb and they hope we all are to.
I don't know how it is elsewhere, but here in the US different states use different alphanumeric conventions for their license plates.
AFAIK, regions of nations do not do this in Europe, though I could be wrong.
4lan9
I don't think it's a real plate at all.
I tried looking it up using services that work for legit plates, and it came up with nothing.
thedudeman519
Though now on second though, the notion of vanity plates negates this rebuttal. Still, though odd practice to say the least.
ThingsThatDontJustifyGenocide
The, now three, examples of it are all "California" plates.
So there are at least 3 illegal vehicals rolling around, claiming to be one.
It's so predictable that criminals could use the same plate and get away with it
thedudeman519
Whoopsie-doodle, didn't even think to look at the blurred out state name in the picture

That’s a pretty old license plate number for such a new vehicle. If it’s real.

MyCommentsUsuallyHaveTypos
Also notice there's no form of expiration sticker.
MeowWoof
There's no registration sticker.
scoutMoonDiver
Some states require the registration sticker to be on the windshield
MeowWoof
CA requires it on the rear plate's upper corners where there's a square on these plates with "place sticker here" written on it.
AShartInTheWind
Not California.
scoutMoonDiver
I said SOME states.
AShartInTheWind
But this is a California plate.
presswc
Not Illinois.
kahlas
Not an Illinois plate. You don't sticker a CA plated car according to IL laws.
