Digital License Plates

[Flintstone61]

SO like right now I pay $270 a year for the license plate sticker renewal in MN....it goes a down a percentage each year. after 10 years of age( the car) it's a flat $45 bucks or something.
SO in addition to my annual Registration renewal fees I'd be paying $25 a month to sport digital plates? in this economy? Would'nt I be better served using that for Gas?

What could possibly go wrong with that idea?

Beat me to it

Researchers Could Track the GPS Location of All of California’s New Digital License Plates

After gaining access to a powerful administrative account, the researchers could perform all sorts of tasks inside Reviver, the sole company that sells the digital plates in California.

Okay, so I guess when digital plates become required and are ubiquitous, some people will try to scrape off their reflective coating. ;-)

The crooks are already working on their own digital plate most likely.

This will ensure nobody ever gets caught and prosecuted again thus relieving the court system of it's backlog of trials.

We should get in on the action, and make our own digital plates here. we have the Nerd/Geek know how to the 10th Power here in the forum.
I suppose in 5-10 years we'll be able to buy them with a photo ID from Walmart.

.Or better yet, a device which clones other passing plates, maybe every 10 minutes.

This looks cropped, unless you don't have a date or overlay on the image. What camera model, time of day, and weather conditions (sunny)?

Yes it was digital zoomed and enlarged for that post so that one could see it said electronic plate easier. It was a cloudy day around 3pm.

It is the IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 camera that I have mentioned to you in your other thread where you were complaining about that camera and I showed that it works in a similar install situation, but you never tried any of my suggestions....

Here is the uncropped/zoom image.
