I cant say as I have ever heard of a situation where a person was pulled over by a police officer and was caught red handed...."Ah ha, just what a thought, a violation of the state vin rivet law, son your going to jail for a felony." How ridiculous some people are in this room.

Now that being said, yes there are those who use rivets and stamps, and other marking equipment for unethical purposes. Yet, Ive never seen anyone arrested either for having stamping equipment, reproducing vin tags on doors etc. I can say this In the commonwealth of Kentucky, we have no law forbidding the use of using rivets or putting in vin plate in replacement of dash.

It should be noted our laws are more lax than in some northern states such as Michigan.
