Umm... correct me if I'm wrong, but why are we acting like license plates is some super duper fancy tech.
I can hack my physical low tech license plate too... all I need is paper, a color printer and some tape.
Or if we want to go super high tech and expensive, get an LCD screen or tablet to cover the license plate so you can change it on the fly.
License plates aren't some super duper complex thing... people have been forging, and stealing them off of other cars since they've come out. The actual hinderance is that if you are pulled over and your license plate doesn't match the vehicle you are in, you are likely in a world of extra charges.
I see what you're saying, but IMO the newsworthy information in the article is that there are electronic plates available to begin with. It just seems like such a bad idea from every angle you look at it. The hacking of them is simply stating the inevitable but it is just one issue in a large pile of BS even an honest purchaser would have to deal with using these things.
It does free up our prisoners for other slave labor tasks
