We all know that we are bound to find a few strange things when on the road, but these rare occurrences seem to be more common in Florida. Just recently, one driver in the state shared a rare license plate, claiming it belongs to Ta-Meri. While this raised a few eyebrows, the one thing that many questioned is the legality of this plate, as it doesn’t seem like something that would be allowed to be shown on a vehicle.
Reddit user u/OwnBalance2325 shared a picture of a plate saying it belongs to the United Nations of Indigenous Tribes of Tameri. You can also see that the plate is labeled as Diplomat and has a QR code that says State Exempt. The OP asked whether this was legal at all, and it sparked a whole discussion about what Tameri was.
In short, a lot of Redditors started giving information about what Tameri is, how it is related to Moorish culture, and so on. Yet, some others actually focused on the matter of the plate’s legality.
According to some Florida locals, these people allegedly just print these plates somewhere, use them, and cops tend to pull them over for improper display, which is the norm around the state.
Yet, it seems that people with custom plates like this one, and those in the Tameri community, tend to be a trouble for people. Some even shared a few stories that left citizens frustrated with their encounters.
Florida Locals Try to Avoid Tameri People
One Redditor shared a story of when they encountered a Tameri person, and it seems it wasn’t that great.
“I was 3 people behind one of these nut jobs in line at the TSA once. Shut down the line for damn near 30 min because they didn’t have an official ID and started going on with their not-traveling-for-commerce things. Took every ID-checking TSO and 3 OPD to deal with her. Her 2 kids looked mortified.“
Others ended up saying that despite the plates, they still suffer the same consequences as others in Florida.
“You see that plate all the time in Florida; it means absolutely nothing legally. Those sovereign citizen types print them off some website thinking they found a loophole, but they just get pulled over like everyone else.“
Ultimately, it seems not a lot of people agree with those who claim to be Tameri and just hope that they would follow the rules and laws that other citizens have to.
