I-10 in Louisiana has been a big target for these operations. If you have a Caddy, Lincoln, high-dollar BMW, etc, you can and will be pulled over, and this stunt pulled, to the point of having your car impounded as drug related. 60 Minutes did an undercover operation on this strip of I-10, but it still happens.

Louisiana in general is like this. Out of state license plates? Might as well paint a big ole target on the side of your car.

I was stationed in Louisiana for a bit, and I loathed driving between there and Texas or there and Florida. I did learn a trick - hanging my uniform up in the back of the car so it was easy to see. It seemed like I was pulled over a lot less. When he had relatives visit us from Texas, we used to joke about the chances of them getting pulled over based on whether or not they had a nice car combined with out-of-state license plates.
