New Jersey A4158 prohibits the use of license plate flipping devices and increases penalties for displaying fictitious registration plate numbers.

New Jersey A4158 amends the state's vehicle laws to prohibit the use of license plate flipping devices, which enable changing a registration plate to another with different identification marks. The bill also increases penalties for displaying fictitious registration plate numbers if a flipping device was used. A person convicted of using a flipping device to display a fictitious number faces a fine of up to $750, imprisonment for up to 60 days, or both. If the offense occurs in a residential district or school zone, the fine increases to up to $1,000.
