These are licenses that some "inventive" motorists thought that they could get by with. I collected these while an officer with the Wayne Police Department between 1966 and 1992.

These six (6) examples are the only ones that I can find at this time. Hopefully I'll find others in my "stash" in the barn.

1971 Michigan Motorcycle License Plate With 1972 Michigan Validation Sticker/

Problem with this was, this was not how the 1971 Michigan Motorcycle License Plate was validated.

There were NO validation stickers in 1972. A new 1972 Michigan Motorcycle license plate was issued !!!!!

1979 Michigan Motorcycle License Plate With Hand-Made 1981 Validation Sticker. Color was correct, but a little crude.

The 1980 Validation sticker looks like it was painted over with "White Out", leaving just the internal code number showing and a crude MICH & 81 painted on the validation sticker

Base 1984 Michigan Motorcycle License Plate With A 1985 Validation Sticker, with a "7" written over the "5" with a "Magic Marker", to fool an officer into thinking it was a valid 1987 license plate.
