How about selling souvenirs that look just like real license plates?
When you hear "Area 51", you probably think "Ah, it's said to have something to do with aliens/UFOs, right?"
The US Air Force training base called Area 51 in Nevada is said to have many confidential matters, and photography is prohibited, let alone entry by the general public.
There are many souvenirs related to Area 51 in Nevada, and one of them is a car license plate (model replica). It seems that it is on sale.
This is what I bought. ↓
It's fine if you just want to enjoy it as a souvenir, but some of the people who bought these souvenir license plates actually put them in their cars and drive, which is becoming a problem. matter.
What is the problem? The problem is the owner who has a real Nevada AREA51 license plate.
He really does have a real Nevada issued AREA 51 license plate for his BMW.
What he has is a real license plate ↓
The problem is that when a car with a fake (souvenir) AREA51 number causes a traffic violation, the violation ticket is sent to the owner here.
It seems that there are many people who wear fake plates and pass through highway tollgates (without paying), and in such cases, the number that was taken on the video is read and illegal tickets are mailed to the owner of the number. It is said that all the guilt of those who violated in AREA51 went to the owner of this genuine plate because it is a mechanism to be done.
Over the past seven years, on average, one ticket arrived every other week, for a total of 172 tickets.
It seems that he is in a situation where he has to object every time he receives a ticket. Basically, if you raise an objection, it will be accepted, and it seems that no one is accused of it, but this is a lot of trouble and trouble, isn't it?
You may think that you should get rid of the Area 51 license plate, but the person himself wants it and owns it, and in the first place, souvenirs are used in place of the real thing. I think it's a problem that it's a level that can be stored, so it seems better to improve it by changing it so that it can be clearly identified as a "replica".
