If your license plate has a slight tint you can receive a ticket...
Of all things to get pulled over for, not the 20% tint not the exhaust but for a tinted license plate cover.
Over weight officer on motorcycle: Do you know why I pulled you over?
ME: No sir.....
Officer: Your illegal license plate cover
Me: Sir I was not aware the lightly smoked tint was illegal
Officer: Well the Gwinett County municipal code four dash one dash pull my finger alpha charlie echo 8215.86 scratch my butt do you wanna be the next Rodney Kings states that the cover is illegal and a safety hazard.
Me: Officer I will correct this infraction as soon as I get home.
officer: I have been trying to clean up this county for more than a year now and I see alot of young guys with BLAH BLAH BLAH pepboys E....I......E.....I......O BLAH BLAH loud mufflers and BLAH BLAH illegal tints
Bottom line I got a ticket for a Lighty smoked plate cover, I really wanted to ask him sir where were you 20 minutes ago when I was doing 90 in a 65 MPH zone.
This is in Georgia by the way.

Near the 120/20 intersection near the Auto Zone I think I may have seen your car in the Grayson area on 84

And for the curious among us, why do you have a tinted cover over your license plate? What good does it do you?

Dude the plate adds 5 hp. Actually it accented the tint of the vehicle and keep in mind this is not a dark tint THE TINT WAS SLIGHT, as I was 10-15 feet behind the the vehicle with the officer I clearly read the plate and even the sticker that is about 1 X 2 inches. I am not complaining because I was stopped, I think a warning would have been sufficent and I cold have removed the cover on the spot

I get tickets for plate cover
I actually had smoke plate cover in fron and in the back. And guess what???? I recieved 2 tickets for it. One I beat in Court because they not allowed to give 2 tickets for the same thing. So my advice if you are driving in NY do not put cover on your plates. Not worth it.

I have seen somewhere on the net, that there is a clear spray that can make you license plate glare when a picture is taken of it. Yet to the naked eye the plate seems normal. Has anyone heard of this?

I haven't seen this yet, but how would that work?
95emeraldgxe is dead on right for this one folks. That's exactly what the officer explained to my father as he was issuing him a $50 ticket for his tinted plate cover.

There's a sneaky guy in the office who has a dark colored thingy on his plate. Deosn't surprise me one bit.

I drove around Atlanta for almost 5 years with a tinted license plate cover without any problems. I moved to KY, and, within a week, was given a friendly verbal warning by a cop stopped at a gas station. From his perspective, it was an obstruction to properly view the numbers on the license plate.

As for the 'hard to photograph' thing, it's BS. I've had the back of my Accord photographed a few times in the EZ Pass toll lanes (when the scan doesn't pickup) and promptly receive notices in the mail WITH a pic of the backend of my Accord and the plate (though tinted) is VERY clear (which IS how they know to mail it to me). (Granted I'm only going about 10mph.)
