    This thread is making me look forward more and more to driving to Michigan in June with CO plates. Last time I did I was pulled over twice. I think speeding was the reason. Wife and kids in the car. Pretty sure it was the CO plates that got me. and yes I set the cruise at 5 over. Fully expecting to be pulled over at least one on the way there.

    I wouldn't be too paranoid, we drove to California last summer with zero issues. Don't do anything stupid, and stupid stuff generally avoids you. Unless of course, you, your family, and your friends just have horrible luck or something......

    Wife and I drove more than 10,000 miles last year in my 4runner pulling our little trailer, though Utah, Nevada, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Wyoming. We had ZERO interactions with the police. Now it may be that a 4runner with military license plates driven by a middle aged white guy doesn't fit the "profile" like, say a Subaru covered in 420 stickers and driven by a twenty-something in dreadlocks, but I think it does show that the whole "if you have CO plates the cops will pull you over to check for weed" paranoia is just stupid.
