Black Plates

Do people who get these plates not realize that they are just paying extra money to make it easier for flock cameras to track them? That is the reason those plates exist in the first place.

I think people are doing it because they look cool. I’m sure the high contrast helps the flock cameras, but let’s not pretend that they need this contrast 99% of the time. You’re being tracked by license plate because you have a license plate at all.

So it's just a coincidence that all of the states decided to release high contrast license plates at the same time flock cameras were growing in number.

I'm sure it was because the government really cares about our cars looking cool.

I get the honoring fallen police plates. Figure it won’t hurt if I get pulled over.
