- A day or so ago Philadelphia, PA police drove through the residential areas
- of Philly and it's suburbs, taking down the plate numbers of vehicles that
- have NJ license plates. These plate numbers are being turned over to NJ,
- who will mail each person a request to show proof of residency in NJ.
-
- This is to try and cut down on the number of people registering their cars
- in NJ to get much cheaper insurance.
-
- Fine is $5000, $15,000 for 3rd time offenders.
-
- Apparently, they got around 5000 plate numbers.
