what's my chances of getting away with no license plates/fake plates in canada/north america?
bit of backstory. im 23 now, i grew up in beijing; my dad works at the uk embassy. im a british citizen with chinese residency. due to living in a communist shit hole my entire life, i never actually obtained a driving license. that's not to say i didn't drive - me and dear father both figured out it was much easier to just bribe any officer who happened to ask questions than it was to actually obtain a chinese license. for reference i was never actually pulled over at all in china - just asked a few questions in chinese by an officer while the car was parked. as ever with chinese cops, pretending not to speak english did the trick, and he fucked off. it's worth mentioning at this point that i wasn't actually driving around china with no plates - i had some russian guy on etsy make a set of fakes. copied the characters from another 2009 audi a8 and boom.
aaaaanyway. me and my father had a little falling out - something to do with him sacrificing any happy childhood or sense of belonging i might feel on the altar of tax-free ferraris from commies. anyway i digress.
i don't want to be here anymore, and i'm leaving in a week. flying to toronto with the intention of making an actual life in a democratic country rather than breathing smog and being careful not to say WINNIE THE FUCKING POOH too loud.so, when i arrive, i need to drive. i read that putting fake plates on the car is actually a worse crime than just rolling without plates, but rolling without plates seems like a recipe for unwanted bacon.
the russian can make me fake ontario plates, and im sure i can source fake valtags too. but... im not sure how to balance it.
tldr, my question is, if i roll up in canada and buy a cheap benz or something off craigslist, am i better off attaching fake plates to it to avoid attention, or am i better with no plates so when i get the attention it's a lesser crime?
Well you also need insurance which you can’t get without a license, so whenever you get banged (no plates or fake plates) you’re still going to be run in the system for a drivers license.
Hit with an Op vehicle W/o Valid license take a fine. Not jail time if the vehicle is not stolen and is owned and titled to you, just no plates or insurance.
Also it doesn’t matter if you buy the same type of car the plates are for, if the plates were transferred to a new different vehicle when they are run it’ll pull up the right info and owner information.

what? insurance only cares about a vin, they dont care if the car is plated or not. t. recently got insurance in toronto
Julian Diaz
well yeah, no shit i can't insure it lmao
anyway the car will be mine, i just can't register it for obvious reasons of no license therefore no valid insurance.
what i mean by copying the numbers is, say i get a used 08 e-class. then i find another identical e-class with same colour that's got valtags and is clearly used by the owner and unlikely to be sold... then take the plate number and vlatag, copy them and stick them on my own car.
theory being, if a cop runs my plates, the vehicle details will match, the car will show as registered and insured with valid tags, and this will be enough to satiate them into not pulling me over. i heard they can get a physical description of the owner which might fuck me if they're substantially older or of different ethnicity but other than that it seems bulletproof in my head.

no licence might be an obstacle to getting insurance. honestly if i could insure i would, but everthing is red tape as fuck. especially coming from china where everything is off-the-books, it's jarring af.

Honestly op canada is full of chinese people . go to the Embassy and tell them your oppressed in your home country. Theyre pretty lenient ab that kind of stuff. Youll either become a citizen or atleast become a legal resident. Then you wont have to worry every time you see a cop. Also dont commit a crime in the mean time
Brayden Lewis
dubs called it i guess
anyway i also planned to put a box of nails under my rear bumper that i can release from the interior, to assist in popping the tires of any piggie who gets overly interested...

Justin Murphy
My bad i read that backwards i thought you were chinese and your dad worked at the uk embassy. Dude tell your dad to go fuck himself and go back to the uk dumbass. Then go from there

In the US at least, any traffic cop is going to ask for driver's license, registration, and proof of insurance. Then they run them in their computer over the radio looking for warrants. If you are not in the computer, you are fucked. So you have to fake a lot more than just a plate. And cops here are irritatingly honest: Try to bribe one and you are going to jail.
Zachary Collins
glad to be here, now stand aside while i mow down your children screaming MY FATHER IS LI GANG like a typical chinese lmaoooo

You should get a license if for no other reason than to be forced into seeing how people drive in North America, unlike the chaos that's mainland China.
Dominic Thompson
Buy car use fake plates Get caught (police read plates often) You pay 2500$ cad fine or go to jail Car gets impounded
Justin Barnes
obviously if i actually get pulled, im fucked. my plan if i get pulled over is to wait until the cop is out of his car and 2 paces from my door, then boot it outta there dropping nails all over the road and hoping for the best.
what im really trying to do is make sure i dont get pulled
Matthew Ramirez
lmao 2500 and impounding a cheap craigslist beater?? worth it
dude it looks so peaceful in normal countries. even hk is way different... mainlanders so aggressive with their driving always lmao. guess it gives me good reflexes and shit tho
Gavin Reyes
Heres my advide regarding your current situation. The most important thing to remember is that you should STOP BEING A FREELOADING FAGGOT AND FOLLOW THE FUCKING RULES LIKE THE REST OF US OR GET THE FUCK OUT OF OUR COUNTRY.
Kevin Flores
>follow the rules like the rest of us
what you mean like the corrupt prime minister who covers up his mates crimes JUST LIKE IN CHINA lol
nobody follows the fucking rules, dipshit, the only difference between canada and china is that in canada you can vote the little shits out after a while...
anyway quit being all preachy, like you've never bent the rules
Connor Brooks

Advice for OP: >If you insist on a Mercedes, get it in champagne. It's the most inoffensive, boring, blend-into-the-scenery color, and that's what you want. >Peel all the tint off the windows. >Make sure all your lights work and your car looks roadworthy. >Do not put a tag on your front plate, only the rear. >Don't use a plate holder, and attach your plates with magnets for quick removal. >Make sure to surveil your donor extensively. Not only must the car match identically to your own, but the primary owner must resemble yourself also. This may take a while, but it helps. You should also aim to source more than one plate number to piggyback. >DO NOT drive like an idiot. >Use police radio apps constantly and learn the codes. There's little else more enjoyable than hearing them sing out the plate number of the car you're in! >Store pepper spray in the gauge cluster for the purpose of spraying up any cop who comes to your window. Then get the fuck outta there, change plates and go home. >After any police encounter, pour water over the engine block on your lawn to cool it, then pour half a gallon of oil on your garage floor and park over it. Remove and hide the plates. If a cop happens to find his way to you, you can say it is unregistered and doesn't even run reliably - as evidenced by all the oil it leaks. >If you're being chased, do outrageously dangerous maneuvers and make it your business to do 150MPH through school zones. This is usually enough for the pursuing officer to 'let you go' because it's becoming too risky to continue giving chase. They assume your plates will lead them to you later anyway. >If you even suspect a cop has seen your current plates in a negative light, never use them again.
