I run similar "year of issue" collector plate on my 911. I have been stopped at least half a dozen times under identical circumstances, wherein the officer runs the plate and it comes back invalid or something. I carry a copy of the RCW (Revised Code of Washington) that clearly explains the law.

In each and every instance the officer has been an absolute freaking jack ass. It's never come to what is shown in the video, but it's come awfully close. Amazingly, even politely presenting the RCW rarely serves to diffuse the situation and calm them down; it actually serves to escalate tensions, if you can believe that. Their egos apparently cannot accept the fact that they were mistaken, and a mere citizen is cognizant of both the applicable law and their rights.

And LEO's still have not grasped the fact that normal honest citizens have lost all respect for them. Most today are no more than childish, ego driven thugs who could not get a real job, leading all professions in wife beating, alcoholism, sociopathic behaviors, and other such charming traits. It's high time we start treating them like the lowlifes they are, and quit allowing them to "investigate" one another's bad behavior. It's time for citizens review boards that have full authority to dole out the discipline for these children, and well past time they are placed under adult supervision. No more free passes when they wantonly abuse citizens - hold them liable; hold them to this mythical "higher standard" that they are so happy to claim.
