In a rather unfortunate coincidence, Ohio started issuing yellow plates with red text to people with too many DUI convictions a decade or so back. You don't often see plates from NM in OH, but when you do, it's a bit confusing.
Not only that, but such a thing is probably illegal in the USA [0]. Someone needs to take it all the way through to the SCOTUS, although being forced to wear a scarlet letter as a form of public shaming has been ruled on before, if I understand correctly.
FWIW I can’t recall seeing one of these plates in 10+ years.
I have seen them before, though. Part of my family is a little, uh, rough, and when someone would get these in the past we’d say “oh so and so got their party tags”.
So I’ve always remembered them as party tags... lol.
Was looking through the comments and saw this. Glad I'm not alone in remembering these. We called them "party tags" instead of "party plates", though. I wonder how many people remember that being a thing in Ohio.
