What is the name of your state?Indiana
I have a question I once new a guy, that switched a friends license plate, with his friends moms car. What would happen, if the guy got pulled over, my the police? Is there any law against, driving with the wrong license plates, even if you own the other car? So this is so confusing.
License plates are registered to a specific vehicle. Switching them to a vehicle that the plates are not registered to (even if you own them both) is illegal.
You would have to follow Indiana law if you were to tranfer them legally.
IC 9-18-6-5
Transfer of plates
Sec. 5. (a) Upon the disposition by sale or other means of a motor vehicle, trailer, semitrailer, recreational vehicle, or motor home currently registered in Indiana, the license plate from the disposed motor vehicle, trailer, semitrailer, recreational vehicle, or motor home may be:
(1) transferred by the person who is the current registrant to any other vehicle of the same type acquired by the person; and
(2) operated in Indiana for not more than thirty-one (31) days after the date the person acquires ownership of the vehicle.
(b) The person who is the registrant must have in the person's possession a:
(1) manufacturer's certificate of origin;
(2) duly assigned certificate of title; or
(3) notarized bill of sale;
indicating that the person is the owner of the vehicle to which the unexpired license plates are affixed.
