In Germany maybe, but I doubt a Swiss or Austrian police officer would know that.

If standing out as a foreigner somehow isn't a problem for your plate-faking needs, then you could just as well make up a fantasy country that uses comic sans plates. Nobody would be really sure that it does not exist.

Right. So cost and use will have to be weighted here. I'd guess a foreign car gets inspected closer anyways.

If the Red Army Faction is modifying license plates in Switzerland or Austria, that's their problem, not Germany's.

It's not modifying plates in either country. Th RAF was active when that font did not exist.
