Maryland State Police. It means that their tags were ordered for pick up do to an insurance violation or other violation through the Motor Vehicle Association.

St Mary's has one if not two..

I keep seeing one at Cedar Point FCU late in the afternoon.

I wonder the legality of checking a plate that is VALID, and stopping the care because the plate check came back with a suspended license?? Ones not connected to the other... doesn't seem to pass the sniff test to me.

The reader is very simple. It reads tags. Valid tags are valid. However the tag then runs the registered owner's license status and/or NCIC check for warrants etc.

Then the car is stopped.
