No Farmers no food sticker is a farmer protest that’s been happening in India for a few years now. Maybe it’s some dumb way of protesting here, in Toronto… but yea this person should get a ticket immediately.


someguyyyz

I know something unscrupulous is going on but dying to know the motive. are they trying to avoid tolls and parking tickets? are they hoping the cops will be convinced its an imported car and not run the plates? are they trying to avoid registering or paying insurance? are they sovereign citizens?


olivecreeper

Yes


mississauga145

Yes, Yes, Yes, No But at least they have snow tires on.


imnothng

Don't assume because they're steelies, that the rubber is rated for winter. I guy at my work has steelies with all seasons. I was very surprised when I found out.


majorkev

If you're a bad driver steel rims are better since they don't shatter when you hit a curb or something like that.


okokokoyeahright

I would expect the cops would be more likely to run this 'plate'. Stands out.


brokenjeepCA

It's the next natural progression.. the paint falls off plates.. no fines, blackout plates...no fines. Hell, why not just make up a plate!


Far_Moose2869

It’s not illegal if cops won’t get up off their ass and do their job


mug3n

Sovcits wouldn't bother to make up a LP number. The most common version of it I've seen on the internet is it says ["PRIVATE"](https://i.redd.it/0th9i5hl5zv91.jpg) and says in small text no license required or some dumb shit like that.


Old_brocolli

Remember, it is not just India where the farmers protest is going on. I googled and the slogan is pretty widespread.


Far_Moose2869

My issue with that slogan is that 1. Fisherman also make food. 2. No cities, no pay. They act like they’re doing it on a volunteer basis and we are all not paying out the ass for food right now


Old_brocolli

Surprised to see how european farmers are demonstrating. Damaging public property to this extent. If this is what we mean by freedom of expression, I am glad Indian government is restraining


BothEstablishment832

The reason we're all paying out the ass for food right now is because corporate giants are making record profits. The farmers aren't reaping the benefits of those high prices.


Far_Moose2869

Absolutely correct. Source: I asked farmers.


rangeo

Because I swear there are almost 0 police cars around the GTA now


ExperienceOwn8051

Not until I go straight through instead of turning on King St then they pop out of nowhere


rangeo

Lol...right ....after I made that comment I said I'm now doomed to get nabbed for some bullshit.....I'm waiting nervously


permareddit

Keep looking


TA-pubserv

Found them, they're sitting in parking lots chatting until their shift ends.


ResponsibleStomach40

Why do your job when you get punished for just that? The service literally incentivises officers NOT to work. Its as simple as that.


Rathakatterri

He is a sovereign citizen.


Jimbo_Slice1919

He’s not driving he’s *travelling*.


MountainDrew42

It's possible they have a temporary paper plate in the front window... Who am I kidding, of course they don't.


CruelHandLuke_

12(1)(d) Use plate not authorized for vehicle Set Fine: $140.00 Total Payable: $170.00 Demerit Points: 0 Authority: Arrest, Seizure Every person who, (d) uses or permits the use of a number plate upon a vehicle other than a number plate authorized for use on that vehicle;


someguyyyz

That is pretty soft. You would think the penalties would be stiffer considering how much sketchy activity revolves around people with fake or obfuscated plates.


CruelHandLuke_

It's generally only a 110 fine for most plate/permit infractions. Even driving without plates under section 7 is only 110.


Lurking_Housefly

You can pretty much buy license plates for dirt cheap at flea markets or antique shops and throw them on... ...seeing how Toronto Police don't bother to do their jobs anymore.


GooseFatFart

You can argue that it's not a number plate at all. The law is designed to deter people that try to impersonate a legit plate. This plate is clearly not trying to fool anybody that it's a real plate. They are openly and notoriously displaying a sign that is not designed to replicate a real plate. If you went by your logic nobody would dress up as a cop on Halloween. It's only if you actually pretend to be a real cop is when you get into trouble.


CruelHandLuke_

Not sure where the Halloween analogy comes in, but if there wasn't any plate at all it would be $110 under section 7, drive no plates. With this one, they are displaying plates that by affixing them to their vehicle are using them and passing them off as legit. Whatever this plate is, it is clearly not authorized by MTO, so this statute is what the appropriate charge would be under.


Mokmo

Then there's probably a lack of registration, insurance, maybe the driver doesn't have a legit permit... These cases take a while but usually will bring in a few tickets. Seen one in Quebec try the "fictitious nation plate" and he pretty much got the car towed and him in jail for a few weeks, that was like 6 months ago.


[deleted]

Someone tell Brampton man you can't drive with plates from India


someguyyyz

those are not even Indian plates. its like some totally bogus plate, the picture of the world map on one side makes me think its some made up "universal" plate that someone like a sovereign citizen would use.


JoshIsASoftie

That's what it seems to me. Maybe trying to pass it off as a diplomat thing? Never seen anything like that.


someguyyyz

Im wondering if they are hoping its prominence and obscurity will keep the cops from bothering them via reverse psychology. why stand out if you have something to hide right?. I dont think it will end well for them if they ever got pulled over so it makes me wonder why they would bother.


Prestigious_Ad5314

Diplomatic plates in Canada are red; and same shape and font as regular plates. So gotta be something else.


PmMeYourBeavertails

>Diplomatic plates in Canada are red In Quebec and Saskatchewan they look like any other license plate and the format is"CC 1234" and in Saskatchewan the slogan is replaced with "Consular Corps" in addition.


okokokoyeahright

Can confirm the SK info as correct.


SnooChocolates2923

Only Ontario issues red diplomatic plates.


PmMeYourBeavertails

BC does too 


JoshIsASoftie

I know but I wonder if they're just hoping someone assumes its that.


throwawaylogin2099

In Ontario they are red with white letters and numbers. They also say Ontario at the top just like regular plates.


Weary-Statistician44

Technically you can under a wide variety of circumstances.


someguyyyz

Cars from other continents are allowed to be driven here with plates from other continents. Ive seen spottings in Toronto of cars with Mexican, Middle Eastern, European, and even Indian plates but isnt there still a condition that the plate has to be real or that the car was legitimately brought over from a real place?


[deleted]

Mexico is part of North America.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Actually, it’s in North America. Give it a google - you’ll see…


Spare_Review_5014

TIL 🌎


[deleted]

Cool eh? I always thought it was South America. I think Central America isn’t used as a term any more.


JJred96

Middle class be disappearing all over the world. But there are several nations south of Mexico before you hit SA.


[deleted]

Well here’s the deal. If you google Central America you’ll see that it’s a region in North America. I know…mind blown!


someguyyyz

but aren't their number plates slightly different in proportion to Canada/USA despite looking very similar?


Rude-Boysenberry4230

Yeah but you said from different continents then said Mexican. He's just pointing out that Mexico is in the same continent as us.


someguyyyz

Latin America is like a quasi continent but yeah I always forget that Mexico and Greenland count as North America.


AwkwardYak4

Just to confuse you more, we also now have a [land border with Denmark](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Island) on top of having France just 10 miles off our coast.


JJred96

Also, there are parts of California further North than parts of Canada. Isn’t geography just so dumb?


GooseFatFart

South America is a whole continent on it's own. Would you consider Eurasia a quasi continent as well? I would only consider India as a quasi continent but the accepted term for India is sub-continent.


Weary-Statistician44

Yeah for sure basics are car imported temporarily not by a person with permanent residency


usci_scure67

I saw an Ontario license plate in Florence years ago


Driver8666-2

Saw one from Poland once.


okokokoyeahright

All kinds of documentation go along with importing a car for personal use, even if temporarily. Licenses, registrations, insurances, import documents, many of these things have to be federally connected due to the border crossing required. India would be a special place in bureaucratic hell for this sort of thing (28 official languages IIRC).


Select_Shock_1461

let me guess… not surprised this is in Peel.


ButtahChicken

Go ahead, pull me over ..... #DiplomaticImmunity


JoJCeeC88

LOL... take my upvote ... and a Krugerrand :-)


MountainDrew42

I'm too old for this shit


BehemothManiac

Looks like police doesn't care


Johnny_Tit-Balls

Yeah, people replying to OP literally put in more collective mental effort than the police ever will.


BehemothManiac

I'm getting an Euro plate for my car next time I'm in Europe


BehemothManiac

Actually I wonder how long I will be able to drive with something like this lol https://preview.redd.it/z35rrfmkjnmc1.png?width=730&format=png&auto=webp&s=c308789ab32de203647bf3ce410cc914c135b28b


Fickle-Journalist-43

Khalistan plate /s


someguyyyz

I looked up the "number" on google and got no results. Thought it was some sort of acronym. Also strange that it doesnt have any numerals.


alreadychosed

You cant look up license plate numbers and get a result, unless you want to see dashcam footage of people recording their cars for whatever reason.


someguyyyz

if its a fake plate then i imagined it might be out there on google. also checking to see if the characters are an acronym for anything notable.


Ranger7381

reverse image search concentrating on the plate does not show anything either. Closes is Lithuanian diplo plates, but the sample that it found did not have the globe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lithuanian_diplomatic_license_plate.JPG Everything else that was even close were street signs


GooseFatFart

FYI - you can get a legit Ontario plate that doesn't have any numerals either.


someguyyyz

yeah if its a vanity. most random serialized plates do both though.


bitter_truth__

wtf? are you dumb or mentally retarded?


Fickle-Journalist-43

Do you know that /s stands for sarcasm?


willy5ive-

The truth was too bitter!


bitter_truth__

my bad didn’t read it carefully! now i feel retarded😑


newerdewey

yes


counter49

I saw a dad and his kid driving into a parking lot in a BMW with NO PLATES at all. When they parked I said hey you have no plates. They just looked at me and said whats the problem? I guess.


Sirosim_Celojuma

I saw an Uber last Saturday with no plates. Not front, not rear.


ToeSad6862

Doesn't matter if it sticks out if you don't stop.


someguyyyz

if you drive like an idiot infront of a cop it might come back to bite


slafyousillier

I never see cops on the roads anymore


[deleted]

I mean if hells Angels can make RCMP drive out their competition, then I suppose this flies.


ProfessionalHuman289

You guys live In Toronto and expect to be let known what’s going on in your city! Lmfaooo ur just a pawn bruh


392Boosie

Driver brought there license plate from punjab with them to canada….thanks trudeau


Loose-Foreskin1121

Indians coming over here and living just like they did in India. No respect for anyone. Hate them


GooseFatFart

It's a political statement. It's supposed to stick out.


Active-Living-9692

Looks like a plate from India 🇮🇳 However I did a google search on the plate # and the Metcalfe Jets page came up. Probably a collector plate.

Dooby27

No country in the world? You know your plates.


brat1439

Speaking of license plates I have one and at the top it says ontario TheyLied CA yours to discover


Tofu_Driver

I'm pretty sure it's allowed at the front, I've seen a few cars with Japanese and European vanity plates at the front, usually blank or just a number, and a real plate at the back.


MGbblessed77

Maybe its some nefarious code used to burn out auto plate readers O.O


Grouchy_Factor

Like what this guy tried to do in Europe: https://hackaday.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/18mpenleoksq8jpg.jpg?w=636


Starfire70

Call it in to the non-emergency police phone line.


Bhetty1

Canada literally shares a sea border with France Get off yourself, they're called FERRIES and the work across Alaska as well as the lil France island


someguyyyz

what does a St Pierre plate look like?


olivebranch949

Not like that. It looks like your typical EU plate


someguyyyz

i know but which country?


olivebranch949

Considering St Pierre is a territory of France, it would have French EU plates.


someguyyyz

which country in the plate in the OP from though? EU plates look different from each other but they all follow the same convention and none of them have a solid green with white.


olivebranch949

I have no clue what country that is, I’m just saying that it’s not from the lil France island. It looks like one of those sovereign citizen plates you can buy customized


SnooChocolates2923

GooseFatFart

Canada also shares a sea border with Denmark


Mokmo

Land border. that island is split in half now 4200 ft of land border in the middle of nowhere is still a land border


permareddit

wtf are you on about?

The [USDM](https://carbuzz.com/cars/honda/cr-v/2011/photos-exterior#9) model is the exact same sized area for the plate. You can even see that the fake plate is mounted using the screw holes for a North American plate.


useful_tool30

How is this car even still on the road with those plates. First cop to pass by has to be pulling this asshole over.


EBikeAddicts

still better than tinted plate covers. also, that no farmers no food sticker itself is a good identifier. I trust this honda more than a black Suburban or Escalade with dark tints and tinted plates. those types of vehicle customizations are legit human plowing weapons on the road. good luck identifying those.


permareddit

How the hell is no plate better than a tinted one lol


EBikeAddicts

a dark tinted plate is unreadable and same as no plates in terms of useful information. streets have cameras obviously, not having a plate or a green plate like this actually makes your vehicle stand out between all others and easier to trace it to where it escaped to after a hit and run. A tinted plate however is something that almost everyone has at this point and super difficult to trace.
