Cops are obscuring the plates on their personal cars so ticketing cameras can’t nab them. This guy removes the obstructions from their plates when they’re not looking (www.youtube.com)

Ok, covering your plate's letters or scraping the paint off makes it impossible to read their plate to report though when those actually serious scenarios you mention happen. I have a pretty decent dash cam (high res, quality sensor, circularly polarized filter to eliminate glare) but even unintentionally damaged plates might as well not be on the car at all if the retroreflective coat is missing and it is not perfectly lit.

You make a good point. With that scenario in mind, I suppose I don't have a problem with busting them all.
