Just some info to hopefully encourage you to buy an opaque licence plate 
cover:

Traffic cameras have nothing to do with safety or leveraging police 
resources, and everything to do with making some grifter money.  The 
traffic cameras' primary income is on commissions on tickets they write, 
which gives the company incentive to push for laws or policy that 
increase the chance of you getting a ticket.  They have in the past 
pushed for shorter yellow lights.  Lots of cops say that cameras snap 
pictures of people they would have never pulled over.  They also expend 
police resources to set up the cameras and do extra paperwork.  So we 
have less police on the streets, more unjust tickets being written, and 
courts that are tied up even further.

One I know about is the Loover.  I don't want to link it here, but it 
was number 2 on Google for "loover".  Anyone else have a good cover?  
I've seen some polarized crystal ones as well, I don't know the name.  
If no one has seen a switchable LCD cover, that might be a potential 
invention to exploit and start a company. :)
