> Is it time to start talking about civil disobedience and removing large numbers of number plates from cars in an organised protest?
People already do this very frequently in LA, you'd have to convince the entire city to do it for the cops to notice. A friend of mine took off her license plate to avoid the red light cameras, and has been driving around without plates for two years. Never been pulled over for it. I see at least one car without plates every day on my drive to work, and it's a ten minute drive.
For those outside California, new California registrations are issued in small paper packets that are affixed inside the front windshield. There are no "temporary tags" like in many other states, so it's perfectly normal and legal for a new car to pull off Tesla's lot without any license plates.
