The CHP stopped a Nissan with a suspicious license plate. It was homemade

"A Central California driver of a Nissan Sentra was pulled over and cited for driving with a drawn license plate instead of a proper one. When it comes to art, everyone's a critic, including the California Highway Patrol. In Central California last week, the CHP stopped a Nissan Sentra that didn't have a state-issued license plate but instead had a piece of homemade pop art on the back of the car. The CHP deemed the creative handiwork unworthy and cited the driver with a fine of $197 for driving without a proper license plates."

"Merced's California Highway Patrol gave the unnamed driver "points for creativity" with a post on social media. The department did not respond to a call asking when or where the event happened. It noted in the post that an officer conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle because "something unusual" was noticed about the rear license plate. The license plate included the "California" lettering along the DMV's website and a registration sticker. "Upon closer look, it turned out to be handmade!" the CHP posted."

The driver received a $197 citation for driving without proper license plates under California law. Merced's California Highway Patrol posted the encounter on social media and complimented the driver's creativity while confirming the citation. The department did not provide details about the time or location when asked. A replacement state-issued plate from the DMV costs $27.
