I would have though that it mattered very much. At the time a lot of people commented on the fact that the cards used the words, Titre de Sejour, Carte de Sejour and Residence Permit.

I’m a great fan of Antonio Carluccio 
His recipes are down to earth and delicious.
OH has requested his special recipe for Tiramisu this weekend… 
Ah yes, I guess if you go over every week you can have this. One does not immediately think of England as a frontier country…
I know someone who lives on the France/Luxembourg border who has never owned a French registered car.
One of my French cousins works in Luxembourg but lives with her family in France. She has a Luxembourg registered car but it is registered to the company not her. The company she works with is in the car industry and their company cars are used to advertise their wares. At the moment she drives a Polestar which she finds funny as it spends most of its time in France but they aren’t sold here.
Is that not one of the requisites to be a frontier worker, that the car must be a company car? My buddy has a Ferrari and his wife some fancy electric Audi - both bank cars 
I did not know the Polestar is not sold here. Mind you, I am not a Polestar demographic though… 
That was the point that I was making. Her previous car was an Audi e-tron. She prefers the Polestar because it has a better range. If she drove at her normal motorway speeds in the Audi she didn’t have enough range to get home.
Know to a thirsty car, its a quick charger if you dont mind the stop which clearly they did.
She could do it by driving slower so she did that. They used it for family holidays all over the place so it can’t have been too bad.
It is a nice car, it can charge quick so makes up for the slightly thirsty motor.
That’s an absurd analogy. The ‘Juden’ star was the action of a political regime intent on eliminating Jews, first from a range of activities in commercial and social life and then from life itself.
If you suspect that this car sticker thing is somewhere on that NAZI scale of descrimination, even off the front end, you have a very dim view of the French system of governance.
As @ChrisMann and others have said, repeatedly, this sticker seems intended to identify vehicles which do not comply with registration regs.

I always do at the airports and ferry ports. Never been told off or told to join the other Q.

If that is the case they are committing an offence, save driving a hire car. Do you have a problem with those people being identified ?
I have a friend with a CdS. He drives a UK reg vehicle. I have pointed out to him repeatedly - and sent him the link to this thread - that he’s illegal in FR [UK reg] and in UK [reg res in FR]
He blithely passes off the implications of discovery.
Set Trump’s ICE on him, they’ll sort him out. 
Complete with free Salvadorian carte de séjour. 
I do not see why it would be illegal in the UK, as long as the vehicle is correctly insured and he has a valid driving licence. I am not aware of any UK law that says a French resident may not drive a UK car in the UK. If you visit a friend in the UK, why should you not drive their car IF it is insured for you?
But I would be interested to know whether it is correctly insured on the basis of him being resident in France, or if it is insured with a UK insurance on the incorrect basis of him being a UK resident.
Wait until he has an accident and see the insurers wriggle out of paying up. Even worse if someone is killed and he is found not to comply. However, as long as he dosn’t come near me, it’s his problem but one I wouldn’t want to have hanging over me especially with a CDS.
Actual residency is not clear from @captainendeavour 's post but if he’s French resident with a UK-plated car then it’s unlikely he’s correctly insured. Though he might have a certificate and think that all is ticketyboo.
Not in the beginning, apparently. It enabled what came later but that was not presented at the time it came in.
I personally find the shift to right wing poliically generally quite worrying.
Lets hope it just stays an anology.
Well we can only hope, one of the Parisian universities has young women voting for the extreme right as the packaged womens protection in with their policies so gained the votes, a sucker punch but then the voters are young. A nasty way to win votes but it seemed to work based on the news article on television.
