...(I have a vinyl adhesive number plate) Looks like normal licence plate but it's a sticker.
but custom made to match our rear plates.) I've tried looking here in the US, but no luck so far...

Can you tell us how/where to get that same vinyl adhesive license plate, or at least what to search for on Google? (Not an image of your plate, of course, but custom made to match our rear plates.) I've tried looking here in the US, but no luck so far...

Interesting... I didn't notice they were targeting the license plates to get their speed readings. Nick, did you print that vinyl plate up at your shop? How much would you charge to make me a California plate?

Interesting, anyone else notice that he/she had a more difficult time locking on when the target was the hood or windshield?
Edit: Someone else beat me to the punch. However I don't think it's targeting the plate. Think about how many states don't require a front plate. I think it has more to do with a flat surface that will return the beam.

Perhaps, but we don't have a flat surface either, specially with the Mpack front bumper
Anyway, the gunman in the video, is getting instant score when targeting on plates, unlike when targeting on windshield or elsewhere.
