#TopStoryWithTomLlamas #California #LicensePlate
The detective has never seen it. Lady, this technology has existed on the market for at least 15 years
I support license plate flippers for tollway use but not for criminal use
I was just thinking how convenient this would be when I travel to Illinois
Word 😂 Deff gonna come In handy in NY a when they do the conversion tolling
That is criminal use 😂
@@sonicthekid249collecting “tolls” should be a crime. Texas is like a troll sitting under a bridge.
The mind is a terrible thing to waste. You spend money for a license plate flipper. But how many people you know with a luggage/bike racks on a BENZ SEDAN?!?!?!??!???
Lmao facts
I bought a brand new car from an out of state dealer about twenty years ago when there really wasn't any online thing for that. The car I wanted was a limited special edition and there were only three left at dealers anywhere in the country. I called the dealership and explained that I wanted that specific car so we could simply skip directly to the finance office and then we could handle any paperwork via overnight or two day mail or fax. Then I had a third party car hauler who was willing to pick the car up from the dealer outside Chicago and deliver it to me outside of Washington D.C. for about $750.
When I got the car there were no dealer issued temporary tags. There was some sort of tiny slip of paper taped to the inside bottom corner of the windshield on the passenger side that I guess somehow served as my only temporary tag until the certificate of origin arrived and could be filed at the Virginia DMV and a title generated from the certificate of origin and permanent tags issude.
So I drove around Washington dc, Maryland and Virginia for about two and a half months with empty brackets. No plates, no temp tags, nothing.
I even got pulled over a couple times for minor driving infractions and only one cop even bothered to ask about why I was driving around without any tags at all.

I think you have a few months grace period, but I would think the cops would at least think to ask.
Steve Jobs use to do this.
He got a special deal from his dealership and lease cars for only 6 months.
He never needed to get a license plate or car registration because of that.
0:23 Not quite "like James Bond" when you drive by a CCTV camera with the drivers window down showing your face lol.
“IVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT” breh this been an ebay car meme for years lmao
yeah, really. where do they get officers that stupid?? And she's promoted to Sergeant??? wtf!
Really? What other memes are there LOL
To be honest, I'm feeling somewhat proud of them. Still there's a reason why I don't. That flipping license plate should have had another plate on the other side: One of a car with the same color and type. That scheme was just but almost thought through.
My thought exactly! It would be nice if it matched a similar vehicle, but anything that LOOKED like a license plate would be better than nothing!
Yup. They got cocky.
The if they had another license plate on the flipped side, then they’d have to get it registered, and it would be for a completely different car. So as soon as anyone looks that up, then it would also tip them off.
I guess they could have at least then had it registered to the same MODEL of car, but then that would require owning 2 cars of the same model. So they probably just settled with no license plate, since that’s pretty common.
@@FlynnAlek The odds of anybody running the bogus plate aren't good. It beats the heck out of having NO plate. That's going to draw attention for sure!😄
@@FlynnAlek they're saying just wait for another white Mercedes to go by and jot down its plate number. Then some poor SOB gets a visit from the law at his law office.
The police forgot to charge them with felony identity theft for possession of other peoples credit cards and such.
They just got arrested. There will be more charges
@Ba Goai Wtf is that?
@@Andre-qg2ie Wishful thinking. They're already released on bond and who knows where they are. The police don't care. The DA sure doesn't.
@@mrskwrl police do care that’s why they write it up and put them and jail. It’s only the DAs
It's LEGAL to have a license plate flipper. Illegal to use it.
What kind of people do they hire to run our government??
California is governed mostly by Democrats, so this insane law makes perfect sense.
The same folks that use the needles and crack pipes that they distribute to the homeless in SF
Lol gotta keep the economy going for novelty products, AND the jails full when people are stupid enough to try.
Democrats
The company that makes those plates probably financed Republicans political campaign in the State. Any kind of non sense you see, be sure it has republicans being bribed written all over.
lol. You gotta give the two of them props for that.
They supposed to have another plate on the other side
Criminals spend more time trying to out smart the government then to use their talents for good of society
government try to use more time picking your pocket
Biggest criminals are in the government. They would pass laws to make society better but instead, look at commiefornia
those have been around for yrs
Good to know. I’m putting one one my car but I’ll never use it on the toll roads I promise.
Okie dokie!!
Yeah I wanna try it on toll roads😂
Heck yea, at night wink wink
Why were they released???
It's a tool to help private investors bypass stalking or harassment charges that could occur without it
Are you stupid?? They were released because of leftist morons and their policies....duh
@@dank7802 , I hope so!
California.
@@RobertLW Why? Are you a stalker?
I am sure when they are at home on the couch watching 007 and eating popcorn, they are like remember how we did that, ooh and that.
Goto love that law "its legal to have the licence plate flipper but illegal to use it " lol to dam funny
Ikr its amazing how much stuff that can be legally purchased at reputable businesses but if you are caught in possession of it or put on your vehicle it's a crime.
It’s illegal to not show your plates. Not using the flipper.
Nice catch and release 👍😉👍
They look like a match made in heaven
Birds of a feather.
Oh dear god they're like $20 on ebay and not even slightly new. Certainly not James Bond, just incompetent police
Cameras need to catch the vin number which never changes. License plate numbers can change.
Smart. Great way to avoid tolls too.
I saw this in "The Transporter" movie.
Their fatal error was that they victimized the same location twice and they became over confident in their technology.
Those have been around for years
Ha those are real now? I designed a license plate flipper blueprint when I was in school, but mine had 3 sides for 3 plates, also outfitted with a retractable transparent screen that obscures the plates with dry ice.
THANK YOU NBC YT😊
People are stupid ..this device been out for years and now you act like is new ..smh
These guys should apply at Twitter in their Election Control Department!
I want one of those!
ebay
Death penalty for theft
where can I cop fr
In oz back in the day you put perspect cover over your licence plate and sprayed it with a type of hair spray and the flash reflection meant the photo was not useful.
They almost perfected their burglary game lol
What's the point of showing the plate on the camera and then hide them after....?
I had a similar question. No point really, they’re just dumb, and that is how they wound up getting caught.
What purpose does flipping your license plate to no license plate have? Wont you still get stopped?
All that ingenuity invested in theft could've been redirected to honest jobs, but....I'm sure that's asking too much.
They were easily making more being thieves
Of course they let them go on bond.
World class citizens.
Jail time...
Hey. Where's the bid on eBay? Plz send me the link!!!
These plate flippers are common with the car show people. And I like how they follow a white Camaro out of the garage thinking it’s the Mercedes. Nice job
Do you have any idea what TV cameramen make these days? It’s a pittance! Maybe the Camaro is like a Mercedes to him….
@@mebeingU2 if you say so.
Well THANK YOU, James Bond!!😆😆😆
RELEASE ON BOND BEFORE THERE TRAIL?? SHOCKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I found the couple and their mass criminal enterprise and released the most disturbing
Released on bond? Really?
Not surprising at all
simple ingenuity.
On notice.
I've always suspected that this was a common thing.
It's even easier to print out a photo of a dealer's paper temporary tag from a car with a similar description . Which is apparently actually a thing that is happening now.
an odd pair indeed.
I need one of those for the daily toll bridge.
they already released
I had this idea years ago. need it to be digital....
I need one of those license plate flippers
An LED license plate would have probably been better
Reminder those are for actual fast cars like mine 💀
Genius
So once again…the news shows us what tactics to use to become criminals. Gotta love the media 🤦♀️🙄😂
So once again, you failed to realize how important it is that everyone knows this exists so we can all try to catch criminals like you.
. They're showing us that this tool is no longer unknown.
People think they can Act a Fool like Ludacris 😂
No punishment, they wont show for their hearings, just arrest and let them go!!! That's California for you!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like you've had prior experience in their shoes.
They were released on Bond. James Bond.
What a come up
So .F smart!
Ok
Forget the license flipper.. I need that device they used to put gas in their tank! 😂😅
I’ve never been on EBay before and seen this
That reminds me of the movie transporter.
umm, they were released??? WTF
Saw it an old school James Bond movie
Wait… you can have a flipper but you can’t use it?!?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hilarious
Not that hilarious if you really think about it.
It's like you can own a samurai sword, but you are not really allow to cut anyone with it.
There are probably tons of examples like that.
It shouldn’t be illegal to cover your license plate
They sell them on eBay and Amazon lol
that benz prolly got filled up with hella midgrade, i bet the owners werent smart enough to only find other car owners with 93
Of course California can say you could have the device. You just can't use it. Because we trust you!
Guess where you can buy the license plate flipper .... Walmart !!
would sure be nice to have the flipper show a different plate (maybe a facsimile of a plate from the same make-model-color car…?)
anyway.. my question: will this type of flipper function properly at speed? (*high* speed)
Nice
So you can legally have the plate flipper device but you can't use it. I'm getting one. Lol 😆 🤣 😂
Bonnie and clyde
I love it. I'm getting one!
lol im sure theres plenty of others with better technology
I push one button and my SUV turns into a sports car.
All misdemeanors, release the same day.
Same with emergency strobe led lights u can have them mounted but can’t use on public roadways 🤷♂️
An alarm and a pistol. Done. Gotta go wash my 🙌
I feel that some channels on RUclips is responsible for spreading the use of this gadget...
released on bond?? by Gascón ?
Released so fast again. California law is always stupid.
Syphons gas into their car? How ?
They’re supposed to have another plate on the other side 😝
Brilliant idea for those who get fined for parking at British supermarkets by anpr systems
Its 007 years prison time
If they used it correctly with 2 plates instead of one then they may have drawn less suspicion just saying
What kind of foolery is this? 🤔
Hate because they are a fraud.
They are con artists.
I never park my car on sweeping zone and there’s no any signs on the street. Opposite street has a sweeping zone sign.
I disputed with proven photos but they denied and charged me $50 more. I through while in dispute, no charge accumulated.
Disgusting.
What other possible use could there be for this devise, it should be illegal to fit it and illegal to sell.
*device (noun)
devise = unrelated verb that's pronounced somewhat differently
@@alvallac2171 correct
Vietnam used to be the same 2 years ago
Not that it would be legal to use one but a QLED screen the size of a license plate would be easier and attract less attention? Maybe load up the memory with license plate images from other local vehicles of the same make, model, year, and color? 🙊🙉🙈
All crimes under CA zero bail system means they were cited and released for those felonies
They got greedy
The transporters💪
They were released before trial????? 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ The chances of actually seeing them in court? 0%
The thing I find most interesting is that clearly these people aren't dumb. Why not get a job as a programmer or in IT? So what, it takes you four years to get a computer science or engineering degree. How much time do they constantly lose going to jail?
Just think if they used their creativity to do good things instead.
