In CA, the CHP used the reflective argument that law enforcement would be
less able to identify the plate at night. Of course, there are so, so many
classic cars with YOM or vintage plates being used for criminal activity and
attempting to flee the authorities at night . . . I'm sure it surpasses
all the other law enforcement issues out there.
