I don't keep plates on my car because of the abundance of plate tracking applications in use by the government and private companies.

Time for a kickstarter for an e-ink license plate? Tie it to a GPS with known locations of cameras, and change your tag for each picture?
That seems like it would be a great deal more illegal than simply just not having tags.
Steve? I thought you were dead?
Isn't that illegal pretty much everywhere?
I've found that it's loosely enforced in the Bay Area.
I keep the tabs with the registration in the glove compartment, and the plates in the trunk. If I ever get pulled over and it is an issue, it will be a fix-it ticket. Since a cop has to write you a ticket for something, a fix-it is better than a speeding ticket.
Steve Jobs constantly drove a new car so that he'd have temporary registration.
But what he basically did was legal, right?
And how does one do that?
