Of course, Amrando put one of the DEC license plates (complete with the official expiration tabs) on the front of his car.
Was Armando living in New Hampshire at the time (he was working there)? If so, that front UNIX license plate should have been the official NH one--NH requires vehicles registered in the state to display both front and rear license plates. But I wouldn't put it past Armando to put the DEC license plate on the front as a joke. It would be unlikely to be noticed as a fake by NH cops, especially if he had the official expiration tabs on it.
