@cR0w in the last year or so my state introduced “blackout” plates that are license plates with bright white characters on an all black field. A lot of people have been saying it’s to make it easier for computers to read your plate and track you.

I guess they don’t realize that mobile plate scanners on vehicles and stationary readers at places like toll plazas have been doing this for decades already. Easier? Maybe. But it didn’t seem overly difficult before.
