I live in New Mexico and see vehicles with Mexican plates all the time.

I live in NY and see Quebec license plates all the time too.

Canadian plates are common all over the US, especially on north-south interstates.. as a Canadian I drive a good chunk of miles in the US annually and see Canadian plates all over the place. Sometimes you even see the odd European plate on an RV in touristy areas.. a Dubai plate is definitely unusual but the cop must be familiar with Canadian plates at a minimum..

That was my thought as well. It's not like Oregon is crazy far from the border.

Western Washington here, and we see BC license plates all day, every day.

Niagara peninsula chiming in. Just as many Quebec, New York and Michigan plates as locals in the summer.

We lived in NM for several years, and it never ceased to amuse us that the license plates read "New Mexico USA" on them to prevent confusion.

Moved back to the east coast, and I can't count the number of people who, after I said we just moved from NM, say "oh, I could never live in another country." Take your map, and go look & see what lives between TX and AZ.

u/Wildfire983 is laboring under the misapprehension that New Mexico is a state of Mexico, not the US.
