Licence plates
I got stopped by a highly observant cop the other day because my CA plates are those of a car. Turns out it was because it used to have a camper shell on top, and was registered accordingly. The cop was cool about it, and informed me. I don't think he really cared, he probably just wanted to give an FYI. He was surprised I'd been driving it for three years and I've never been stopped. Well, I learned something new, and it answered my question as to why my plates were different than all the other trucks. I really don't want to get a camper shell put back on nor do I want to get commercial plates, but since I'll soon be working for the police, I has probably fix it. I was thinking personalized, but I'd just as soon find a legal way to keep paying $50 a year with no smog.
I hate how the state trys to get money wherever they can, by screwing over honest young people like myself. I can't fault the cop, only the dumbass who wrote the law. Any advice would be great.

i dont live in california, but are you saying that a truck with a cap is considered a car for registration but without is considered a truck? In VA, a pickup is still a passenger vehicle and its the same registration.

I know what you mean
So i had a friend at work who got stopped by a chippie and he took the plates off the vehicle. It's lowered fees because another part of the law is the truck will not be used as a truck to haul stuff, thats why its registered as a car since it will be used only as a car. Either risk it or change the registration to commercial. Ive been driving mine without the shell for two years now and nothing.
