Man Arrested for Driving Van With Homemade License Plate
(DNAINFO) James Fanelli — A Queens tire collector whose license has been suspended 166 times was arrested for driving with a fake license plate that looked like a kid’s art project, police said.
Ben Bey, 50, was busted on July 8 while driving his 2001 Ford van with “a rear license that had not been issued by a government agency, and appeared to have been fabricated by defendant Bey using cardboard and crayons,” according to court records.
The bogus plate also bore his picture with the title “Lord Noble Ben Bey.” The plate also had the words “Greater North Amexem” and “Supreme Law of Land.”
When an NYPD officer stopped the van, Bey referred to himself as a diplomat and said, “I am an Amir and I don’t need plates to drive,” according to court records.
