Can ANYONE seriously tell me that this particular one has to do with ANYTHING other than revenue generation?

DON'T HAZE ME, BRO! (California Vehicle Code Section 5201, 5201.1)

This law makes it illegal to sell or use a product that obscures or impairs the reading or recognition of a vehicle license plate by an electronic device employed by law enforcement or toll authorities. The fine for using a product to obscure a vehicle license plate is approximately $146; the fine for selling such a product is $250 (approximately $900 with fees and penalties) per item sold.

In a pursuit, they're going to say "in pursuit of a white Ford Bronco westbound on such-and-such" or whatever. They're not going to say "I'm in pursuit of vehicle with plate # 1234567". That comes later. When the vehicle is stopped. To check for stolen vehicle reports and to make sure the owner is current on his/her shakedown payments to the state (registration) and the politicians' golf buddies (the insurance companies).

All it amounts to is a "revenue maximization tactic" for their favorite unconstitutional pet projects - the red light cameras.
