I know that the license plate covers that shield your plates from photo ID are illegal in NY. Since it is impossible for someone to tell if a lens over your plate is there for cosmetic or photo shielding, any cover over the plate is illegal.
If you get caught with it on, it's a pretty hefty fine and you could be charged with obstruction of justice. That's a A Misdemeanor which translates into a one year in jail sentence.
As I recall it was the state of OHIO which started this entire deal because of the speeders across Rt80 and the inability of the State Police to maintain order on that road.
They have cameras still that are tied to those "your speed is now..." machines that photograph you and mail you the ticket. In the past if you were from out of state, your state had to be a cooperating state with Ohio to enforce it on you at home. In the beginning that didn't exist. Now with the involvement of the Feds it is required.
Just remember that everything you do is now observed. Big Brother IS watching and probably little sister too and most likely your kids will get a cash bonus if they turn you in?
They are all freakin' Commie, Nazi, pinko totalitarian extremists I tell you. It almost makes me want to be a Democrat or something?
