Comment on Why some cities are ditching their Flock license plate readers

Fuck Flock and fuck Garrett Langley with a wooden tent stake; Trump style.
I’ve got a lens over my plate that looks blurry unless you look at it straight on at eye level. We’ll be like China soon.

Beware, obstructing your license plate can get you a ticket in a plurality of states. Not saying you shouldn’t do it, just that you should be informed about potential consequences.

Yup. Was just looking mine up and it seems like any material is illegal. If it only affected visibility from certain vertical angles I might be willing to give it a go.

Yes, and they’re usually a secondary offense, so shouldn’t be pulled over for it, but be prepared with a dashcam as well.

Hrmm. Double checked my state law. I think most of those would run afoul of that. Are there versions that are visible within certain ranges vertically but all ranges horizontally? I think that might still run afoul but would be less likely to be caught just driving around.

I use these two covers together for day/night protection in most situations. I put the clear IR blocking cover behind the ghostplate cover. To be even more discreet, I would advise not using the plastic frame that ghostplate ships with and instead buy a thin silicon plate holder. This will also do a better job of keeping dirt from getting in between them.

Not that I’m aware of, I’m in Michigan and while I’m not 100% sure of it being illegal I’m willing to take a cop to court to prove that it is
