If you think its all about money, I can't blame you. But THINK also about when the cops actually try to catch the "bad guys" and the potential havoc if veiling a license plate was legal.
Stop whining about this and pull the damn thing off. Worry about more important things. |

You got it. Running red lights is a very safe driving habit. If only everybody would do it.

I'm not supporting red light running and in fact support the use of red light cameras. I just stated that the reason they don't allow covers on the plates it to ensure they get the number and the revenue from the camera.

I plan to swing by Autozone to pick up a Smoked plate cover. Hopefully it's not Illegal in Florida. OP would you mind showing us a phot of your tag? I want to see what it looks like on our black e90.

Holy hell in here in the Florida Panhandle the rear plates are completely covered with carriers, luggage you name it and not once in 13 years have I seen any law enforcement pull anyone over for that.
Different locations different interpretations... |

I really didn't think I'd get this much of a response, I was just venting. I know what the right thing to do is, but I can be a fool sometimes and this is one of those times...at least 'til I finally get nailed for it and have to open my wallet to pay a fine. That'll teach me. Some might have gotten the impression that my whole aim at getting this cover was to dodge red light cams or have the ability to deflect radar guns, but no that wasn't it, I just hated how my license plates drew my eyes to them. It was about aesthetics and having the plates blend in with the rest of my car. Obviously that seems to be a no-no, but whatever, to each his own. Anyways, continue to discuss if you like. Hell, have fun with it, that's why we all come to the boards right? Over and out.

I would argue that it was on a ramp going onto the highway, traffic was light, there were no pedestrians around, etc. and you were in full control of the vehicle at all times... seems to me that excessive acceleration is an opinion and not a fact |

same thing happened with my friend as well..cop told him the frame shouldn't cover any writing on the license plate (in your case "garden state")
I also learned my lesson 10 years ago when i got pulled over for having clear license plate cover and got hit with a $50 ticket. (smashed that cover to pieces when i got home )
