I think the "Y" is derived from: Yalwa Canberra, our free business directory site for Canberra. I am not sure though, but I think that's it, because I am one of those who's always been wondering 'Y'. I stand to be corrected. Anonymous. Answer Up until fairly recently, the various states and territories (except Northern Territory, which has all numbers, and Norfolk Island, which has its own NI plates) had plates allocated according to the alphabet. NSW got A to F or G, Victoria H to L, SA M to Q, Qld R to T, WA U to X (approximately) while Australian Capital Territory got "Y". Commonwealth cars' plates started with a red "Z". By the 1980s the states were running out of new combinations and started using other states' "beginning letter", but ACT stuck with "Y". Various new plates have been introduced which have moved away from the simple 3 letter 3 number setup over the last decade or so.

The Plates are not 'your' plates, they belong to the STATE that you have registered your car with. If the STATE wants their plates back for any reason, they could have the POLICE get them from you by a number of ways.So to answer your question... Yes the POLICE can take the "STATE'S" license plates from your car if they are instructed to do so by the STATE.
