"At about 8:20 am on this past Wednesday's morning of New Year's Eve, California Highway Patrol officers in Dublin observed a Chevy Camaro driving at speeds well over 100 miles per hour on Interstate 580. Naturally, they pursued the vehicle and gave chase. But the Camaro driver was able to leave those smokeys behind and eating his dust, not only because the driver simply sped away scot-free, but the vehicle eluded identification because the car was somehow equipped with disappearing license plates, according to KRON4."
"The license plate was black with yellow or white writing, the California Highway Patrol's Dublin office said in a Wednesday morning Facebook post not long after the unsuccessful chase. During the pursuit, the driver was able to black out' or turn off' the plate. Here's a closer look at the license plate trick they are describing. Was this one of those new digital license plates, and is there some sort of nefarious hack to make these go dark if you're being pursued by law enforcement?"
A Chevy Camaro was observed driving well over 100 miles per hour on Interstate 580 near Dublin at about 8:20 am on New Year’s Eve, prompting a California Highway Patrol pursuit. The driver evaded capture and the vehicle avoided identification because its license plate was able to be blacked out or turned off during the chase. The plate appeared black with yellow or white writing, according to the CHP’s Dublin office. Questions remain whether the plate was a digital system or a custom modification. The CHP requested public assistance and provided a contact number for tips.
