Just as fast as some law enforcement agencies attempt to make life harder on criminals, the scofflaws they target are coming up with countermeasures. In this case, the battleground is Texas, where officials recently launched metal-only temporary license plates. Just two months later, counterfeit versions are available. Get this… the state’s government has been defeated by stickers.
