Re: License Plate Law

The theft of the license plates themselves under New Jersey law would most likely be a disorderly persons offense due to the dollar value of the plates. This has a fine of up to $1,000.00 and up to six months in jail. The display of the stolen plates on your car is a traffic offense which has a fine of up to $500.00 or up to 60 days in jail. As to the rest of the United States, each state has its own criminal and traffic laws, so I cannot list each of them here.
