It's a federal law, and therefor it is a felony which can result in time in a federal prison.

Another View: (in the US) Actually it is a violation of state law, NOT federal law

AGREE: it is a state law violation. Normally this is considered a traffic criminal violation. What an officer may do with you when he pulls you over for this type of violation will depend upon several factors. This ranges from simply giving you a citation, for which a court appearance is required, to towing your car and confiscating the license plate and possibly take you to jail.
