On Wednesday, San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu sent a letter to the executives at Amazon, eBay, Etsy and Walmart demanding that they cease and desist from offering illegal license plate covers for sale to California residents.
SAN FRANCISCO -- California law criminalizes selling any product that obscures the reading of a license plate, yet people can still buy them online.Chui said that license plate covers, such as smoked, vinyl wraps, tinted or warped covers, make it difficult to read plate numbers and impede the ability of law enforcement agencies to investigate and apprehend individuals engaged in criminal activities, such as sideshows, thefts, and robberies.
They cautioned that people of color and low-income neighborhoods would be more negatively impacted than other areas.But San Francisco police, ramping efforts to stop smash-and-grab retail theft and car break-ins, say that keeping license plates clearly visible for security cameras and eyewitnesses is an important way to track suspects.
