He didn't have the plate mounted anywhere else and I assume he probably has it in his glove box or something. Instead of the plate he put his plate number on his bike rack with vinyl stickers. Would this be an acceptable solution with the police?

I had a friend that got a ticket (while in a parking lot, no less) for having a bike rack, sans bikes, that obscured her plate. IIRC, there's some leniency if you're hauling bikes, but not so much if not and the rack is obstructing the plate.
LOL @ asking if a do-it-yourself plate number is "an acceptable solution with the police"
