Summary

In the opinion of a contributor, this media, currently under a non-free license, should be carefully reviewed to determine whether there is a more applicable free license that could be applied.

Additional reasoning as to potentially free status: Most of the design is plain text and the two design on this self-proclaimed "license plate", a "sovereign citizen" variant of the US flag

and the Great Seal of the US

, are already on Commons

This media should be carefully reviewed, an {{information}} block added if not present and if suitable the image should be transferred to Wikimedia Commons.

If the image has no source, add {{subst:nsd}}.

Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	This file will serve to show the type of license plates sovereign citizens tend to use. It's one of the more common variants. I plan on showing it under "Traffic law violations".
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	Because none were found, and it would I believe be most beneficial to the reader to know what they look like.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	I only plan on using it once.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The owner does not have any legal commercial interest in its use, especially since this license plate is not street legal (to be put on your car) anyway.
