Once your on private property, like their parking lot, is it legal to hide your plates? I'm thinking yes. And I'm thinking some quick 3d prints and motors could make this work.
In many states such devices are illegal, so if you get caught with it on the road that's probably a hefty ticket and maybe an arrest because they will assume it was meant for use in a crime.
The crime of protecting your privacy.
Technically in public there is no presumption of privacy. What we need to do is end the third party loophole that allows the government to buy data on citizens without a warrant. And some additional legislation preventing companies from tracking anyone using any data without their permission.
I believe you are right
