Just want to put it out there... for the record.... I am not a resident of Virginia, and that is NOT my license plate. I do find it humorless, nonetheless. Members of this forum know how I react to extreme whackerdom, yet how much I am one myself (MrConspiracy!).

The issue with the proposed California EMS plates is that they a fan plates. You dont need to be an EMS responder to get them

I was on another creative thinking binge the other day and hatched out another one of my half-baked stupid questions: why is it that if you're a FF you get a special license plate to put on your personal vehicle but if you're a Medic or EMT you don't? can someone answer this question in a NICE way? I don't want 50 FF/Medics coming after me with needles lol.

PA has them along with a whole bunch of other organizations that you can get one for.

Not quite. The MA firefighter plate is really the "Firefighter Memorial Plate" which just means you have made a donation to the firefighter's memorial, not that you are a firefighter.

Some of the specialty plates cannot be obtained by just anyone. To get vetran plates you have to prove that you served, and to get an amateur radio plate, you have to submit a copy of your FCC license.

I stand corrected, I knew about needing the dd14 for the veteran plate though just didn't think to put it in my reply lol
 
New Mexico EMT plate..

I have one on my vehicle. I got it for reasons of professional pride. Just like I have an NREMT decal in my back window.

Some people who have them say they also hope that perhaps if they get pulled over for something minor, the cop will let them off easy out of courtesy/respect for their profession. I don't place much stock in that idea myself.

Here is a link to what the NM plate looks like.

New York State has "Volunteer Ambulance Service" license plates in addition to the EMT and Paramedic varieties.

I am not certain about any formal or informal privileges granted with any of the plates. However, I have "heard" that volunteers driving vehicles with VAS license plates can have one red light as apposed to the standard green light.

(I mention "heard" because this would be true only if VAS plates would turn your vehicle into an authorized emergency vehicle)

FYI, I do not have special plates nor lights.
