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

They're going to find this guy in a ditch when the cops see this video.
Can you rewrite the title so it makes sense?

I changed the title to your suggestion. Cheers! :)
Title gore
Nah, quit driving like a buffoon.
Nah, quit driving like someone who has never seen a car before. Speed limits are deliberately set far below reasonable speeds so shittyv ittle towns can farm tickets.
You too can easily trick these shitty little towns out of their ticket farming money. Just follow the rules like everyone else.
10/10 people who feel the need to say that the rules are for others are exactly the kind of people the rules are for.
Not others, the rule shouldn't be for anyone. Or rather, they should be made reasonable instead of ridiculous. If it makes you feel any better i feel like you (youand everyone else who can't handle a decent speed) shouldn't have a license either as it should be a stricter process and we should be organizing our cities for people instead of cars.
I'm not a huge fan of him going after normal folk in particular, I just liked that it exposed that so many cops do it too.
These people are still using public roads and should obey the same rules as everyone else. Maybe it's a shitty system, but you can always not speed and endanger other people. Is it also snitching when you report drunk drivers?
I'm all for reporting drunk drivers and reckless speeding that endangers others, but for speed traps in particular, they can often be nothing more than a racket.
The speed trap they rotate on my street has drastically decreased the speed people drive through this residential neighborhood.
Haven’t heard a single neighbor complain about the trap.
Best racket ever as far as the one on my street is.
I'm glad your department is using them responsibly in your neighborhood, but in some departments/towns, they are purposefully set up to catch people not really breaking the law as a source of revenue. Here's another example.
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.
