Out-of-state plates VERY likely to get stopped (for fake reasons) in Oregon and California. These guys were New York.
Thanks I missed that detail.
Up here in N. Cali land, about once a month we used to see a non descriptive vehicle pulled over during rush hour with a broken tail light. Stacked up by the driver/others in the vehicle were stacks of plastic wrap and often a drug sniffing dog staring at the former driver and passengers.
