    Possibly a stupid question: I know it’s illegal to cover (or just not have) license plates, but this seems to only be so that they can be read by cops on the ground. Could you add little canopies to your plate so that they can be read by anyone on ground level, but not by surveillance cameras up on lampposts etc.? Or add an electronic screen in front of them that’s transparent to the naked eye, but when recorded, has a weird distorting effect that garbles the image? Pretty out-there idea, but “would it be legal if it were possible?” is my main question.

      Benn jordan on youtube has made a video where he uses small random paintdots on a licenseplate to confuse licenseplate readers. Dont remember the name of the video though. And most likely illegal if actually deployed
