Hee Hee... ! I love it.. It's not just ham plates but any of those personalized or "special" plates that cause confusion.
I have run lots of plates that came back invalid, and by doing as you say, putting in spaces, or trying a different category of plate, etc. they will come back OK.
Also, you might have commercial plates with ham call on them. Now, what do they do? Run it as a "Auto", or "commercial" ? Try both!
What usually brings the coppers on in force is when you run a plate and it comes back valid but to another car.. Definitely something strange going on there!
Watch your back~!

If you are a ham with personalized license plates (probably in ANY state of the US, but particularly in CA), then you might want to check this Web page out ...
And if you just find me otherwise irritating, you'll love to see seven police units respond to my traffic stop today ... (grin)

Illinois has more specialized plates than any other state, so I'm surprised things like Clint's "trouble" don't happen much more often here...
