A fun thing to consider:

Does the law clearly forbid 'conditioning the atmosphere' in the
vicinity of
the plate so as to render the plate illegible? In other words,
although there
is no physical object between the plate and the viewer, a small array
of
Tesla coils around the periphery of the plate could draw arcs across
the
viewing area at a distance from the plate and prevent the numbers from
being
read or photographed. Perhaps plasma channels may not be covered or
defined
sufficiently by the words of the law. If that is the case, then a sort
of
instant-on mini lightning generator (think Spencer's) might work for
coasting
through those darn photo-intersenctions...
