An easy work-around, at least in areas that often experience poor weather, is to obscure the license plate with mud, etc so the picture doesn't come out.

If an officer sees a dirty plate, they'll likely just tell the driver to clean it off - this works best for folks who only have one license plate on their car; some places only require a license plate on the back of the car, such as in Pennsylvania where I live - in fact, many folks there have novelty license plates or the dealership plates on the front of their cars.

On an aside, the polarizing plastic shields sold on the T.V., etc do NOT work - most all cameras can see right through them crystal clear.

Old tech sometimes works wonders - so in a nutshell, muddy up the plate, tint the windows, and drive freely like the police do :P

p.s. some folks donate to their local Police fraternal organization to get the little round badge to stick on the license plate so as to avoid "problems" ... some claim it works ... for frequent drivers, it may be worth shelling out $20 or whatever for it.

p.s.s. anyone from P.A. know why so many folks, often driving black sporty cars, have D.A.R.E. license plates? Is it just a style thing or do they think the police will ignore them if they blow past at 80 in a 55... anyways, enough rambling on for now.
