    Why bother having letters and numbers on a “registration plate“ when it doesn’t mean anything anyway?

          UCC is Uniform Commercial Code. Oddly enough there are laws within those codes that do sorta say things like “private vehicles are exempt”. The part sovcits miss is those are definitions prefaced by something like “for the purposes of this section the following words are defined as…” This means outside of that section your private vehicle is not exempt from most laws. Really only the ones governing commercial activities. That’s why they try to tell cops things like “I’m not for hire” or “I’m using this in my private capacity, not commercial”.

      Maybe it’s less likely to draw attention than no plates at all? If you’re not paying attention, your brain just goes “letters and numbers, yup, that’s a license plate”.
