[Spridgets] License Plate plinth orientation

[Matthew Pfeil]

Didja know that in California, the police consider a clear plastic cover over a license plate as obscuring the license plate? 

Yup

Got pulled over for it. When asked why I had it, it told him that it kept the kids from messing with my reg stickers. He said too bad, you can't obscure the plate. I mentioned that they were not obscured and could be clearly seen. (I have had these installed since I bought the vehicle in 2006 this was now 2009)
He said that obscured means covering. 

Hmmm
