Cape Coral, Florida is looking at a proposal to strap AI-powered cameras onto its garbage trucks. As the trucks roll their normal routes, the cameras would scan yards and house fronts for code violati...
Obviously the reader should confirm this for their own jurisdiction but there is no law against either removing or covering up your car’s plate(s) as long as you’re parked on your own private property. Just gotta remember to uncover them before you head out because that is illegal.
Car covers are also an alternative if you’re a renter assuming you aren’t required to have a parking pass or plates visible for parking enforcement.
Anyone wanna build smart licence plate covers? Like it either rolls up or flips up to hide the plate.
Maybe actually have it just flip down your plate when parked to obscure it. I would say power tinting to obscure it but technically its illegal to cover it most places.
Interesting but I just meant flipping down not completely making it look like no plate. I would say tie it to the ignition/power button so when off it flips down or up depending on what is less obvious. Like some cars have a bump above the plate that would be less obvious going up meanwhile trucks have ledges or tow hitch that would make it less obvious flipping down.

Not inherently true- most places ban having “unregistered” vehicles on residential areas, and if they can’t see a plate when they’re looking to cause problems, they’re going to claim it’s unregistered and make it your problem.
Ah my neighbor battles this every year lol, they have to prove the vehicle is actually functional. It becomes more of a battle then you would think if you have the will to fight them…
So that they can get pictures of license plates tied to addresses to sell to repo companies so that the tow truck can come get your Hellcat.

“Smart” in this context wasn’t as much of a thing back then, but The Transporter had a similar option.
I would ensure it’s impossible to activate it from inside the car. Otherwise, eventually someone might worry about you cheating toll booths.
(…actually sounds like in Texas they’re just banned outright?)
Or being a baddy burglar!
You could just use strong magnets and take your license plates with you like the olden days.

It’s better a manual one, if a police officer stop you and they make you turn off the engine, you are now in trouble

Unfortunately a huge percentage of car owners have to street park.
