You see Karlos? And here, you said you didn't understand..
Aftermarket license plates are illegal, according to the
letter of the law
However, as Bobbie Blue Plate noted above, in the
moment of interaction between you and Johnny-Law, it all comes down to how well
he applies the letter of the law within the context of that particular interaction...
Obviously, when/if you do get pulled over, your first words to the cop should
not be: "Hey Officer- Just FYI, but I ordered my licence plate off the Internet...."
And, since most badge-flashers are going to be concentrating on running the plate's numbers, checking the expiration date on the tag, and comparing the DMV owner record against your driver's license, it is a
fair bet that they aren't going to pay attention to the background color of the license plate itself, since as you already noted, Arizona already has about 3 million multi-color, premium-fee plate designs in inventory... and I imagine
very few cops are able to recognize all of them...
