A motorcyclist was pulled over in Ontario when police noticed his homemade, hand-painted license plate with a prominent misspelling.
Sgt. Steve Koopman, with the Kingston Police Service, said the motorcycle operator was stopped when officers noticed the obviously hand-made license plate.
The amateur artist missed a key detail. The province, whose slogan is Live Free or Die, was missing the second “e” on the fake plate.
“Patrol officers again snagged this beauty off of a motorcycle,” Koopman said. “Charged accordingly and given an ‘A’ for effort but an ‘F’ for spelling.”
We apparently have some burgeoning artists in #ygk. Patrol officers again snagged this beauty off of a motorcycle....

Two weeks earlier, Koopman shared an image of another fake, hand-made license.
Good job by one of our newer patrol officers today, stopping a driver in a vehicle with multiple issues including improper plates. #AtLeastYouTried 🙄 pic.twitter.com/JXBinazjj5

The fine for no license plate is $85, the Kingstonist reported.
