Police Stop Him Over a Dirty Plate | @paulsohard

How much attention can a muddy license plate draw? In the newest short on Vilux, credited to the creator @paulsohard, enough for police to pull a driver over. Judging by the comments, there was a helicopter circling overhead as well.

"Police Stop Him Over a Dirty Plate" passed 800,000 views in its first 13 hours. Vilux is a clips channel that gathers real encounters with law enforcement from other people's footage, and a new upload there usually ends its first day in the tens of thousands.

The comment section moved faster still. In half a day it was already more than three times as busy as a usual short on the channel is after a full day. The most liked comments keep returning to one point: viewers doubt there is any plate under that mud at all, and some are surprised the stop ended without anyone checking. Others turn it into a video-game joke and count the response as a four-star wanted level. A separate thread argues over whether a helicopter was a sensible use of public money. At least one viewer is convinced the whole thing was staged and points to the police car's own plate as the giveaway.

The clip follows "Hunting Down a Stolen Bike," which the channel posted on October 2 and which has since passed two million views.
