Privecy screen protector on my license plate?

Post by 84fierotrevor »

so I swapped out my bright chrome plate that was on the car since I got it for a black frame that has a slightly tinted piece of plastic that cover the whole back plate.
I am wondering If I cut out a piece of that privacy screen protector stuff that goes on computers and only lets people at a angle directly behind the computer monitor see thru it to the screen. and put it between my plate and the tinted/clear plastic covering my plate if it would block everyone but only the cars behind me from seeing my plate. I might try it and see how many cops give me shit for it. if no one bugs me about it it might work good for camera's

"License plate privacy screen" yields about 900,000 hits on google.

Doesn't have too much to do with privacy screens/foiling the camera, but the one thing that people here used to combat the van cameras was a good pair of binoculars.

Yes, the passenger would look far down the road using a pair of binoculars and tell the driver to slow down when he saw one of the white vans off on the side of the road.

Kinda low-tech, but worked much better than any of the other techniques, and legal too.
Nothing beats Johnny Law as often or consistently as a good set of eyeballs.

Obscuring a license plate is almost universally illegal.

However, I have seen advertised an liquid crystal screen for license plates. Normally it just looked like a clear plastic cover, but you could flip a switch to energize the screen and it would become opaque. Ostensibly it was for use at car shows and cruise-ins with many warnings about not being for highway use, but you know why it was really invented...

There are sprays that supposedly reflect the glare of a stoplight camera flash to obscure plates. There are also plastic covers that are contoured so that they obscure the plates from above, but not from either side or straight on.

Bottom line: Cop sees that you're trying to obscure your plate, you'll get a ticket.

Dude, considering all the trouble you've had with the law recently, you probably ought to drive a Buick Century.

Are you trying to get pulled over more?

When cops can't see your plate, they are going to be more apt to stopping you. Last I checked, that isn't what you wanted or needed.
