Officials look to crack down on James Bond-style tag flippers, other means to obstruct license plates; ‘This is about fairness’
Mechanical devices that can hide a driver’s tag at the push of a button are sold online for a couple hundred bucks. Other drivers are getting creative on the cheap, jury-rigging their plates with face masks or duct tape.

“Our Motorized Stealth Plate Flippers, allows you to flip your license plates 180°, James Bond style!”

The courts side with the agency despite the egregious misdirection of funds.

More BS
Keep it simple...
Attempt to back up your statement —”Sales Tax on gasoline (most states don’t)”
Show the states without a gas tax.
24 States require a front plate. Previous to Utah (which does not) I lived In CA, NV, and HI which all require a front plate.
You guys lose, CALIFORNIA SUCKS when it comes to gasoline prices.
Put as much lipstick on your pig as you want, it’s NO SECRET that the people in California are getting ROBBED BLIND by their government every time they stop at a gas pump.
...that simple.
—”Organizations such as AAA have sued toll agencies who take toll money and put it toward expenses other than the roadways.”
In Illinois, they piss the money away on A helicopter for the toll commission, crazy money for a specially made table for commission meetings, and on and on...
And do not overlook all the coat holders and unemployed brother-in-laws in need of a high-paying position...
Oh wow!
Tourette syndrome across a keyboard!
Your shrink will not take your call, so check with your local undocumented pharmacist, cash only, they are waiting to help you!
LOL, give it up, NO ONE here wants to move to California.
Maybe go work for Zelensky, you’ll get more support here if you do that.
Those taxes are not being used for road maintenance and upgrade. The politicians spend it on buying votes then turn around and tell the population they need more money for roads but will take that as well.

In WA state, they get you coming and going... front and back plates are shown.
What are these FLOCK cameras my small town use now?
Add $.50 a gallon in WA, it is a carbon tax... So $1 a gallon.
In Florida, they add it to your registration costs. You have to pay fine of no registration.
The "authorities" are corrupt to the bone. Eff them!
