"Sir, did you see the license plate of the man who hit you?"
"Yes, officer. It was a blue Dodge with California tags. The plate had some golden arches on it and said I'm lovin it".
Or "It had a picture of a man with an erection and the word Viagra on it."
If that erection lasts four hours, should the driver get a new license plate?
What is it?
California is considering electronic license plates which would look normal when the car is moving, but when stopped at a red light, would flash advertisements to the motorist behind them (rear plate only).
Why do it?
California lawmakers are considering this to open a new revenue stream for the State, claiming it would help alleviate the existing $19 billion dollar deficit.
What's the down side?
How long before kids hack into this and show porn, play video's, or use it to promote their own things or, to turn the license plate dark to avoid police, or change the plate # for criminal activity? What is the potential to distract the driver while slowing behind a stopped car for more accidents?

It's bull****, how much will these plates cost? Why not just tax that hell out of illegals?
LMAO..yes you are correct.This is an absolutely terrible idea. Not only is it ****ty to force someone to display advertising on their personal vehicle and not see any money from it, but I can nearly guarantee that within 24 hours of them coming out, there will be detailed instructions on the internet describing exactly how to hack them to display whatever it is you want them to say. Hell, I've only been thinking about it for 30 seconds and I've already come up with lots of fun ideas for them.
1. Show porn
2. Swear at people
3. Advertise for something I want to advertise for (a business, a website, whatever)
4. Show someone else's license plate number so if I'm photographed by a red light camera or speed camera I won't get the ticket.
And that's only assuming that I could hack my own. If there's some way to hack into them remotely, that's when it gets REALLY fun.
I almost wish they'd do it though, just for the hilarity that would surely ensue.

hmmm it could land in court.Utterly appalling idea.
The driver is FORCED to be a rolling advertisement for something he has no say in and gets no revenue from? Ridiculous beyond all words.
