License plate readers are being stalled on I-19 on the border in Souther Arizona by the DEA as a tool to “catch smugglers.” We all know that Arizona is a major gateway for drug smugglers. Some local residents are quoted as “being all for it” if it stops the smugglers. While others like Peggy Cass feel differently.
“It’s one thing if you’re in violation of something and the police pull you over but it’s another thing to record your license plate,” said Peg Cass.
Tucson resident Peg Cass called the readers a violation of privacy. She does not want her information recorded as she drives, “It’s just one more way of big brother looking at you, you know. Your medical records aren’t private anymore, nothing’s private anymore.”
So platenuts, how do you feel about the DEA logging your license plate information on a daily basis? You “all for it” or think this is a violation of our privacy?
Maybe we can get an insider at the DEA to send us all the personalized license plates passing through? Anyone DEA readers out there care to make this happen?
The press release reads that a portion of the proceeds will benefits the Professional Sports Team Educational Fund, which in fact helps supports Illinois public schools.

Kris Jenner tributes her Bentley vanity license plate to Lamar Odom?
I really didn’t know where I stood in reference to my thoughts about Kris Jenner’s adoration of her Los Angeles Lakers son-in-law Lamar Odom. My initial thoughts are to just flat out hate on it but I really cant hate on a Bentley with vanity license plates. No matter what it’s plate read. I just cant do it.
You see, I can’t stand the Lakers. The show gets on my nerves (my wife watches it). And did I mention I really can’t stand the Lakers?
So I spent 30 minutes trying to figure out how I can throw in a “Lamar Kadashian” joke as the L and K in”LKRMAMA”. Only I couldn’t find anything to stand for the R. I must be getting rusty.
Someone out there help me put this together?
Maybe it wasn’t meant to be, it’s kinda like trying to rhyme with the word Platypus.
Vanity License Plates, just another revenue stream for help the State of Colorado’s budget crunch. House Bill 1216 will create this special group to do market research and find “historic” or nostalgic vanity license plates and offer them for auction.
I love how they referenced Texas and the revenue that comes into that state for vanity license plates. Only time will tell if these guys can create the market for it. BTW, read in the article that if you own a cool vanity license plate you want to sell you have to split the profit with the state. That is B.S.
Congratulations to twitter follower @dingwog. His retweets just earned him $100 to Best Buy to buy that Twilight series he’s been eying so desperately. He was actually contacted when the contest ended, we just failed to keep you guys in the loop.
So if you have been to our site long enough you know that we wrote the book on procrastination. Number one best seller in fact. During the summer we ran a contest in which we would award a $100 Best Buy gift certificate. To recap, you could win one of three ways, leave a comment on our platenuts.com site, follow us on twitter and retweet at least one of our tweets and lastly submit a vanity license plate to our team.
We had some great content submitted to us by our readers, some of those will be posted one day soon. Stay tuned. We used a very specific algorithym to calcute the winner of the contest. We took all the entries and wrote them down on this cools tuff called paper, dumped them into a old VFW hat, you know those ones your Grandad used to wear with the yellow rope around the brim. Lastly, we selected our winner!
Thanks for everyone’s participation. We will be running a new contest in november! Be sure to check the site for rules to win next time!
