Victoria, a Denver resident since 1999, has expressed her concern over the growing number of unplated vehicles parked in her neighborhood. “Today, I counted 21 cars without plate on this street while walking by the park here at Mississippi and Quebec. I’ve never seen anything like this before. I worry that these vehicles might be in an irregular situation or that those driving them do not want to be identified. I’m scared now, and I’m changing my walking route. I urge the Denver police to resolve this situation,” she stated.

Victoria’s concern is valid, as Colorado statute CRS 42-3-202 requires vehicle owners to display both front and rear license plates, along with validation tags on the rear plate. According to civil attorney Roland Write, failing to comply with this law constitutes a class B traffic infraction, which can result in fines and other penalties.

Penalties for the owner and driver

“The law is clear on the obligation to display plates, which makes the situation Victoria and her neighbors are facing even more alarming,” Write stated, emphasizing that penalties could increase if the vehicle owner or driver lacks a valid driver’s license. In conclusion, Victoria reiterated her plea to the authorities to take action, as her safety and that of her community are at stake.
