A truck driver was arrested on suspicion of drugs, being an unlicensed driver and having an active warrant for his arrest after his fake license plate was spotted by a motorcycle officer.

The plate, which had been attached to a tractor-trailer, was black with the number 9F30815 under the word “Califas” – a Chicano nickname for California.

Standard California license plates for commercial vehicles always have the full name of the state at the top, with the registration sticker on the right, non of which the fake plate had.

The motorcycle officer pulled over the driver, who appeared to be under the influence of drugs.

The driver was arrested on suspicion of DUI, possession of methamphetamine and being an unlicensed driver.
