March 25 (UPI) -- Police in Ontario said an officer pulled over a motorcyclist whose license plate was clearly homemade -- and misspelled.
Sgt. Steve Koopman of the Kingston Police Service said patrol officers stopped a motorcycle when they noticed the vehicle's license plate didn't quite look official.
Koopman tweeted a photo of the hand-painted plate, which was marked for Ontario, but featured the slogan "Live Free or Die" from license plates issued by the U.S. state of New Hampshire. The slogan misspelled the word "free."
"We apparently have some burgeoning artists in #ygk," Koopman tweeted. "Patrol officers again snagged this beauty off of a motorcycle. Charged accordingly and given an 'A' for effort but an 'F' for spelling."
The license plate was confiscated just under two weeks after police in the same area stopped a vehicle with a similarly handmade license plate.

Why must the Po-Po stifle the artistic expressions of a gifted painter/motorcycle-gang member?

I often used hand-painted license plates to stop motorcycles.
Oh, wait. I didn’t. The motorcycle would just run over it.

Not a misspelling. Canadians have Federally Regulated Entities (FREs). This guy wants to live the federally regulated life, clearly.

Wait. These modern day Kojaks were clued in by the misspelling and not the fact that the plate looked like it was the handiwork of a three year old?

Knew some people that had an institutionalized autistic son. When he ran out of stamps for the letters home, he just drew them on the envelope. Damn good, too.

Teenage confession: We had a teacher that nobody liked, and she was also the tennis coach. She drove this weird little car with a custom license plate that read 'TENIS'.
Being a prolific model builder at the time, I had just the right colour paint, and yes, I turned that 'T' into a 'P'.
True story.

I got my bike out of my Brother’s barn on Saturday! She’s 29 years old though, and starting to show her age. The rocker boxes are very tarnished. Bro said I could buy some “rouge” to spruce her up.
I have heard about putting Lipstick on a Pig,
But I’m gonna put Rouge on a HOG! :-)

Now, that was inspired.
Kudos, from a fellow model builder/maker.
