So, I don't believe they ticket for obscuring plates at all!

Someday you will if you do it. Someday you will .. there's a freeway
onramp near here which has a carpool lane which gets a lot of cheating
going on to avoid the ramp metering. Someone complained to the paper
and said they *never* see any enforcement. The Washington State Patrol
responded that they'd written 56 tickets at that ramp in the previous
month.

Those guys work 3 shifts and you only work one. Break a traffic law
and sometime you'll get stopped for some CS thing and he won't feel
like writing you up for it and he'll look for anything. Smart guys
don't leave them anything to find. Like little blue glass dots in
their taillights, they look cool but they're illegal.

You must be young.
