It was a guy in california, who put his request in for a personal plate.
They did not have the one he put and on the option line he put "no plate"
meaning to him he did not want anything other than his choice..

He began to get numerous tickets from all over the state, of course for
"no plate".  Subsequently, the phrase used by the police was changed..

It was mentioned on the radio report, I should have written it down, and
gotten another plate done!
