Great thinkin' as to how to turn on any such countermeasures!!

Mebbe a mottled pattern high intensity light, filtered to match a plate
color and aimed at the plate would work better (and cheaper) than an LED
screen. (Plus it would, technically, not be "obscuring" the plate.) Make it
a thirty second delay, and add a light for the rear plate just to be sure!

Nest question--what do we use to trigger (turn on) the same lights in the
presence of one of the roadside smog sniffers (which I think are infra-red
based.)
