OK, so this one I could argue. By definition, a "clear plastic license
cover" does not alter the appearence of a license plate. Of course, this
also behooves the owner to clean the cover... But I see a lot of dirty
plates that are unreadable as well. Maybe I could design a program in
linux to clean my plates automatically? (

A smoke colored cover would alter it, so I can see where this is illegal.

Ack, talk about really obscure language. I understand it, but wouldn't
it have been easier to say, "... plates shall be affixed to the front
and rear of the vehicle..."??
