I would ensure it’s impossible to activate it from inside the car. Otherwise, eventually someone might worry about you cheating toll booths.

(…actually sounds like in Texas they’re just banned outright?)

Or being a baddy burglar!

You could just use strong magnets and take your license plates with you like the olden days.

Interesting but I just meant flipping down not completely making it look like no plate. I would say tie it to the ignition/power button so when off it flips down or up depending on what is less obvious. Like some cars have a bump above the plate that would be less obvious going up meanwhile trucks have ledges or tow hitch that would make it less obvious flipping down.
