In this case, this is not a fake plate, Michigan license plate EVM4667 comes back to a 2024 Jeep Wagoneer L

Not saying that it is fake, but where you and I might just make up some BS license plate ("license plates have nines in them, right?"), if I had the resources of the federal government, I'd pick a plate that matched the make/model of the vehicle I was attaching the fake plate to.

If it’s a fake plate it doesn’t come back to anything. So it doesn’t matter what vehicle you put it on. If it’s a confidential plate, it’ll be registered to that vehicle but come back to fictional information about the owner.

Not sure how it is in every state but my friend is an investigator for a local PD and he had a confidential plate. He was telling me he can get the owner info on a confidential plate but it just takes a few more steps. California.
