CHP 11-99 Foundation Licence Plate Frame

I have for sale a 11-99 Foundation License Plate Frame. I'm sure you have seen them (if you live in CA). Who knows, it might spare you from getting a ticket.

If you are wondering, it takes a $1800 (not joking) donation to get one of these from the CHP

let me know if you have any questions


also, the auction is O.B.O. so send me an offer

Of course. One is supposed to keep a badge in his wallet to show the CHP officer if he is pulled over.

By the way, people slang fakes for like $50, so one might as well do that instead.

OCKlasse is right, you need more than the license plate holder.

If you only have the license plate holder and don't have proper donor documentation, the police will think you stole the license plate frame from another car...

Well, you better think of a very good excuse, or deal with the officer knowing you are trying to pretend you donated money for the families of fallen officers.

I told the cop that my mom is a member and we put the frames on all of our cars. It got me out of doing 70 in a 45 and it got me out of rolling through a stop sign


im surprised that EBAY didnt delete your listing
why would they do that?

CHP's 11-99 license plate frame sales to end

Associated Press

Sunday, September 28, 2008

(09-28) 04:00 PDT Sacramento --

The California Highway Patrol and a CHP benefit foundation are doing away with expensive license plate frames that may have bought some drivers a pass on traffic tickets.

Commissioner J.A. Farrow worries the frames create a perception that contributors to the California Highway Patrol 11-99 Foundation are getting beneficial treatment from CHP officers.

At Farrow's request, the foundation, which takes its name from the emergency police radio code for "officer needs assistance," voted last week to stop issuing the frames by January.

Donors who gave $5,000 received the license plate frame and a brass identification card with a small star similar to a CHP officer's badge.

The foundation says the items aren't designed to buy immunity from traffic tickets.

But an online Mercedes-Benz chat board called the frame "the ultimate speeding ticket solution in California." The frames have been selling online for $250 to $1,000.

Several thousand frames have been issued, and are most often seen on expensive cars like Aston Martins, Lamborghinis, Land Rovers, BMWs, Mercedes-Benzes and Audis.

hm.....http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...sn=001&sc=1000

I can see that making it less likely that a cop will question you having a plate frame. If they no longer issue them you can say that you lost the badge and didn't care to get a new one b/c they no longer issue them

And it will still obviously make a difference b/c you still gave them a s**t load of money for nothing really
