Interesting but I just meant flipping down not completely making it look like no plate. I would say tie it to the ignition/power button so when off it flips down or up depending on what is less obvious. Like some cars have a bump above the plate that would be less obvious going up meanwhile trucks have ledges or tow hitch that would make it less obvious flipping down.
It's better a manual one, if a police officer stop you and they make you turn off the engine, you are now in trouble
Reminds me of one time when I was a child my dad got pulled over, I (unaware of what was going on) took my seat belt off.
Cop almost wrote a ticket for it.
The cop was def an asshole
