That said, you could ride a motorcycle with its plate mounted like so:
This is legal and the plate scanners *hate* it.
Another solution would be to just wait for the cost of the technology to get low enough so that everyone has one on their car. Kind of like the dash cams which started in police cars and are now $99.00 on Amazon. Once enough people have them the data stream from all of the civilian cameras will generate nearly perfect real time tracking of every vehicle on the road - including the ones which come and go from government offices every day.
Then the public can use the data as they see fit. Maybe you'll get ads on your browser suggesting new places to shop along your common routes, or maybe you'll just want to look up where all the road construction is happening at that moment, or if you are anywhere near folks you know who are also out in traffic.
“A friend of mine in California told me that he has seen California Highway Patrol cars driving through the parking lot at the Cabela’s outside of Reno several times now. They drive up and down the rows of cars recording who is shopping at Cabela’s.”
We have relatives in Reno so we always go out to Cabela’s in their car. But I am just wondering what’s going to be done with these mamoth Agricultural Inspection Stations that CA has on all major roads into the state. It would be very easy to use them to do inspections for ammo and guns, because they aren’t doing anything every time I go through. What’s next gigantic X-ray machines at the border?
All the tools for a permanent totalitarian state now exist...
Another option is to take your tags off and put them in your window, both front and rear.
With slightly tinted rear windows and the angle of the front windshield, I think the cams wold have some trouble.
“But I am just wondering what’s going to be done with these mamoth Agricultural Inspection Stations that CA has on all major roads into the state.”
I’m guessing that they will start using them for border inspections after the United States secedes from California.

I don’t think it would be a good idea to park your car in front of a bar for more than a couple of hours. If you get scanned driving after drinking and leaving the bar you would be busted even if you were driving OK.
It’s always an occupational hazard for musicians. Many is the time I’ve been stopped driving home after a gig. And of course you always reek of beer and cigarette smoke which raises their suspicions even more.
“I’m guessing that they will start using them for border inspections after the United States secedes from California.”
So where will that put FR? And how will you manage to eat? CA may be a mess in our cities, but we manage to feed most of the rest of you. I guess if you live in the Dakotas, you can eat all your oil. Seriously, how can you speak in such terms knowing that almost half the people here don’t like what’s been going on any more that you do? I mean I could say that Texas is composed of a bunch of backward-assed $hIt kickers, but I wouldn’t do that either!
Asl Maryland Governor O’Malley why we need License Plates.
He has raised the registration Fee, the Title fee, The taxes. It’s all about the money.

Can they tell when people are living in one state and tagging in another state?
Like the thousands who live in Kansas and tag in Oklahoma and Texas, because they can evade hundreds of dollars every year in personal property tax.
Cops here use them to check registrations
Sit on side of road and run plate number to see if car
registration is current
One problem - lot of times records that car not registered
when it is
One friend was ticketed and had to go to court to prove otherwise........
NY state tax Department used to do that here
Troll Newport Mall in Jersey City to look for people
shopping in jewelry stores Sales tax there is 3 1/2 %
NY tax is 8 1/2%
Would send threating letter telling them to pay up differnce
in sales taxes......
Some companies sell reflective license plate covers
to thwarth these scanners
Problem is illegal in NJ
Will get ticketed for having one on your plate.......
That photograph, Katz-Lacabe said, made him “frightened and concerned about the magnitude of police surveillance and data collection.” The single patrol car in San Leandro equipped with a plate reader had logged his car once a week on average, photographing his license plate and documenting the time and location.
STFU, peasant! The Founding Fathers designed the system so it would become a Totalitarian Police State in 200 odd years.
Nice little family you got there, BTW. Be a shame if something happened to them...
