It’ll pretty much only do anything against a camera using a flash in the dark and even then that’s probably only marginal. In normal daytime illumination everyone and every thing will still be able to see your plate just fine.
I think I’d rather get a color e-ink display from China and mount it in a fake license plate frame, with a microcontroller behind it displaying a random assortment of plate styles and numbers as you drive along. If you see the 5-0, flip a the switch to lock it to your real plate number until they go away.
Unless your e-ink display has some pretty magical properties, it’s going to be spotted by a cop at random sooner or later, whether that’s at a traffic light, on the highway behind you, or even if they just roll by at a parking lot.
Plus, I can assure you that the technology to instantly alert if a car shows a registration for, let’s say a blue honda, but looks like a red ford, has been around for longer than flock has been in the news. It’s why that shit with texas temporary license plates was such a big deal (you’d see them everywhere throughout the continent). Unless you have a way to know what other cars similar to yours have for their license plates, you’re going to get nabbed. And most places make your switching thing a pretty big deal as far as punishments go.
I used to live in Louisiana and I drove there for three years with an expired out of state license plate and no insurance. Finally got pulled over, told the cops I just forgot about that stuff, and got off with a $125 ticket. If I’d had a bit more melanin I’d still be in Angola prison today.
No I did find it weird. I also found it weird that my DMV has a 6 hr wait time, and I had other shit to do with my life. Plus, I don’t really buy cars all that frequently, so I’m not exactly sure what to expect when the reg gets flipped over. It’s not out of the question to assume that it was done online. I never even got temp plates, the dealership said it would be fine to use my old plates.
Allow me to introduce you to the magic world of pdlc, and especially pdlc in the same size as your license plates. Its not even that expensive and can be flipped from a switch as well.
Couldn’t you make it automatic and do it. Don’t get have devices that detect all the wireless crap going on in a police car? For educational purposes only of course

Cops have car mounted plate readers. If you see them, its already too late.
Also, you won’t see the drone
And the ICE guy waiting to shoot you in the face

Ironically, I traded in my blue Honda for an orange Ford and drove it unregistered for almost an entire year and never got pulled over.
Dealership said the would handle switching the plates and registration, and didn’t do it. I only found out when I went to renew my reg.

You didn’t find it weird that you never received any documents for the car in the mail for a YEAR?

Now we need a program that automaticaly turns it on when by a camera.
Or just https://www.vortexradar.com/2016/03/nophoto-review/
Tie it to the map deflock runs?

They’re gonna start making rfid license plates, aren’t they
