San Francisco and San Jose Crack Down on License Plate Violations and Retail Theft

TL;DR Summary
San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu plans to demand that four major online retailers, including Amazon and Walmart, remove illegal license plate covering devices from their websites. These gadgets, which include remote-controlled screens and vinyl wraps, are used to obscure license plate numbers and can be used to evade tolls, red-light cameras, and speed enforcement cameras. Chiu argues that these products are used for illegal activities and should not be sold or used anywhere in America.
