This is getting out of hand.

    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.

      “Smart” in this context wasn’t as much of a thing back then, but The Transporter had a similar option.

        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.

          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

            Reminds me of one time when I was a child my dad got pulled over, I (unaware of what was going on) took my seat belt off.

            Cop almost wrote a ticket for it.
