Sgt. Steve Koopman, with the Kingston Police Service, said the motorcycle operator was stopped when officers noticed the obviously hand-made license plate.

“Patrol officers again snagged this beauty off of a motorcycle,” Koopman said. “Charged accordingly and given an ‘A’ for effort but an ‘F’ for spelling.”

The amateur artist missed a key detail. The province, whose slogan is Live Free or Die, was missing the second “e” on the fake plate.

Two weeks earlier, Koopman shared an image of another fake, hand-made license.

The fine for no license plate is $85, the Kingstonist reported.
