My dad went through something similar, though on a smaller scale.  His van had a folding wheelchair lift on the back, which would block the view of the license plate from a distance but not from up close.  Based on current law, this was perfectly legal, but some police officers had been trained otherwise in the past and hadn&#x27;t received updated training like traffic agents had.  Eventually, after he successfully contested a few tickets, the police department used a picture of his van in their training manuals -- and he put that picture in his back window, with a label for what page of the manual it was in, and stopped getting tickets.
