What are tags for if it isn't just the tax stamp? If it was really

It's not the plates that make the state hard to determine, it's the
plate holders.
That is not true at all in a state like Florida with about 100
different plate designs.
Actually, I am always surprised when I see a rear Florida plate on a
car. When we lived there, there were lots of cars with no plates or a
cardboard makeshift plate in the back window, or, funnier, a cardboard
sign in the back window announcing the plate had been stolen. If you saw
those same cars weeks later, the plates were still missing and the same
signs were in the back window.
It was a running joke...how do you tell if a driver is from Florida? No
license plates.
