License Plate-Flipping Devices

[Thor maine]

Here is a question. if my car is legal in my home state in all ways registration, insurance, title, inspection, and all equipment on via the inspection and I travel to another state, do I have to remove or change that equipment or am I covered like transporting a firearm. As long as I am traveling through not staying or setting up residence I am covered by Federal law.

Lots of discussion on this with respect to radar detectors. They are illegal in some states and based on the experience of others, better not get caught with one no matter where you're from.

Things get even worse when going from the US to Canada.

I have a flip plate on my ERA & love it. My town police chief has seen it & loves it too! Maine really is "The way life should be!" (state moto) Ok, so the taxes are higher than I would like. In the top 10 in the nation. But @ least the state lets a man have his toys with out intrusive legislation! Thats a bummer about Washington state.

Did you make this device or did "M" do it for you?

Rumor has it that the state of New York will stop you and ask if you are transporting any fire arms. If you say yes, because you are doing everything legal, they will take you in for interrogation. This will hold you for 24 hours at which time you are no longer passing through the state. Then they arrest you. If you higher a good attorney you will beat the charge, but in the mean time they ruined your trip, and cost you big money. They do not care if they loose the case. They just want to harm gun owners.

Now if you take the court appointed attorney, you will go to jail.
