          Well, yeah. If they don’t and are hauling more weight than their plates allow, the highway patrol will give them a ticket. If I wanted to haul over 3 tons of weight with my Tahoe, I’d have to have commercial plates even though it’s not being used as a commercial vehicle.

          Until fairly recently, all trucks were licensed with the “COMMERCIAL” rated plates in MO… Even the show truck I had in the early 2000’w had to have commercial plates, and the most it ever hauled was detailing equipment.

            Yes, this is true, but what is also true is application of the law, who and who isn’t policed. It is more often people of color getting these tickets.
