| another side to this (perhaps over zealous) behaviour of dealers supplying plates is that they can I believe be held responsible or accesory's to a crime.?
A guy I worked with had his bike number plate cloned which I believe is an enormous problem within the UK, (and the reason why i would never post a picture on this site showing a bike number plate (lets not make it easier than it is for them)). The criminal sees your bike matching the stolen one he has in his lock up and makes up a plate to match your one that he has just seen passing by. It being an actual plate matching the bike description he is less lilkely to be stopped on a suspect check up. Anyway back to the story of the guy i worked with: He was arrested for hit and run and given that it later turned out that the pedistrian was killed and he could not initially remember his whereabouts at the time of the accident he was in serious trouble until he could prove that it was not him. The responsibility was on him to prove that he was his innocent given that the bike involved in the hit and run matched exactly the bike he owned.  |
