Just cover it with something. The PPA isn't allowed to touch your car, so they can't remove whatever is covering your license plate. My neighbor has been parking illegally on our block as long as we've lived here by just covering half his plate.
​
Edited for clarity: they're not allowed to touch a car's license plate. https://www.inquirer.com/philly/blogs/our-money/Copping-a-free-parking-spot.html

Thanks, I would agree with that last sentence. Most folks are nice.. I say hi to people who are outside if they look at me but mostly I just look straight ahead and spend as little time between my car and the house I'm entering as possible. Again - maybe I'm over thinking it.
Also there have been times where I've avoided large groups (more than 2 or 3 people) but some part of me thinks that if I cross the street I'll offend someone and start an altercation.
I just want to be as low key as possible and not ruffle any feathers. And for the 100th time - I'm not trying to sound like a total chicken or be insulting to the area

We can build a new park while also improving the ones we have, these aren't mutually exclusive.

Reply to comment by Cobey1 in Rebecca Rhynhart is running to be Philly’s 100th mayor – the first female to lead the city by Saint_2022
Bear Stearns didn’t approve any mortgages. Did they encourage their mortgage-lending relationships to approve as many as possible so they could bundle them up and sell them off to investors? Yes. But the big banks were not mortgage lending institutions.
She was also “a” managing director not “the” managing director.
“Over leveraged their debt”?? leverage is debt.
I think you have a pretty big misunderstanding here about the role Bear Stearns played in the ‘08 crisis and moreover what role Rhynhart played. Sounds like she was just some regular middle management level player.

Montreal just copied the Chicago playbook, including on summer festivals.

Was behind a Lexus sedan with super dark tinted windows, a tinted plastic plate protector over the plates, and a PBA star covering the last 2 digits of the plate. Some straight up fucking BS

"Sorry your plate was stolen, but the police don't have to give your car back, because technically the case isn't against you, it's The People vs. '09 Honda Civic and 5 CDs Left in the Glovebox Since 2014."

Just like with bicycles and getting mugged, you don't have to be unrobbable. You only need to look like a harder target compared to what's nearby.

Hypothetically, could one put a fake plate on it?

Fuck the PPD and their lazy fat asses.
They refuse to enforce the law. Defund them.

It looked like one car in the video with no plate parked in Philly had a single window sticker from a non-I/M region (where safety, but not emission testing is required).

Thank you for your reply. That 100% made me feel like I'm overthinking it. I'm just not a city guy and I guess I've fallen for the preconceptions like most outsiders.
I'm not usually on foot for more than a block or so, and I never stick around past sundown which I'm sure helps. But kudos to you. That gave me a great perspective, in fact I'm a little ashamed of myself! I wish you the best.
