Leicestershire Police Offer Car on Ebay comes complete with an illegal number plate?

Twitter users have pointed out Leicestershire Constabulary will sell anything to make a few extra pennies or in this case quite a lot.

Even when the car on offer comes complete with an illegal number plate?

One Twitter user tweeted @Liecspolice You're a POLICE FORCE and you're selling a car with an ILLEGAL number plate, what an Example to set, eh?


I am no expert but I assume the concern is the character spacing?
