This is brilliant

[KwirkriwK]

I was so sure there was something here, but never figure it out! Cool!

I bet the sedan is the principal's car -- I haven't seen a lot of Parks and Rec, but doesn't it centre around politicians/people in positions of power who aren't competent or who can't do their job? (not all characters, but I thought there were some like that)

RifKey, Sex Offender doesnt have a "T" in it.

[Tobias]

Would it not be THEPRCCT or even THEPRCNCT? And I believe that the license plates have to do with the owners of the cars rather than just being allusions to LiS's artistic and narrative influences. TWNPKS-Chloe. Show about searching for a missing girl
TRDTCTV-David, Show about creepy detectives, also very dark mysterious atmosphere..
TPFTHLK-Jefferson (seen in the ep2 ending) Top of The Lake (google it for yourself)
That's not to say a few aren't thrown in just to serve homage, but I think a lot of them have deeper meaning too.

[Rose Mackie]

Uncle Stoney, You are correct that "The Practice" might be an alternative to "The Precinct." But the nature of most the other license plates ~ crime, mystery, supernatural ~ leads me to believe that the latter choice is more probable.

But then again PRKSNRC seems to break that rule as well.

[Tobias]

THEPRCTC is (more likely) The Practice

[Oshunsar]

TY - the only one I didnt knew was Davids

[You should be studying]

welp this foreshadowed many details of everyone *cough* Nathan *cough*
