I guess he had to re-register his car?

I left out the last line:

Slidell police advised those who like to "switch tags" to at least give officials "a good challenge and don’t use a license plate" that is more than 20 years old.


So I'm guessing that the plate didn't actually belong to that car, and his registration wasn't really 23 years out-of-date,and had actually expired fairly recently, but that wouldn't be as funny, so the cops left it out. Again, just guessing, but the plate was probably confiscated and the driver was told to put the right plate on and get the registration squared away. Probably issued a "show" ticket so he had to go back and prove to LEO that he was now in compliance. Or maybe it never happened and the Slidell police just got bored and made the whole thing up. shruggy
