Thanks for the tip mate! I actually went through some extensive research prior to posting this...
Anyway, what do you mean by "electronically-optically blanked plate"? Also, check out what some someone has posted:

It refracts the plate numbers from any angle. But you have to mount it correctly. Mine is tilted slightly downward at a 10 degree angle. But I drive an SUV. The cop can view the plate from straight on or slightly to the side. But from the cameras angle it is not fully readable. And if the cop it passing you in the next lane he may motice it. It depends on the plate cover you get. Some are more extreme than others.
You need to review the laws in your state becuase you may get pulled over if a cop notices it. I get about 1 ticket a year from it here in CA.
But it is a "fix it ticket" and costs $30. It does not go on your record or insurance in any way. It's one step up from a warning. So I just put the cover back on later. The plates save me thousands in fines per year here including the Laguna Nigual Toll (which I just blow through every time) so I think it is worth it...
That's CA. Your state may not even have a law that covers these plates.
There are alot of web-sites selling them now. Here are three from strongest to weakest.

What's your opinion on this? Seems to work decently, for that dude at least.
Do you think that a combination of VF + spray OR VF + plate cover would work at least in most places?
