Florida Drivers Face Fines For Obscured License Plates

A new Florida law makes it illegal to cover, alter, or block any part of a vehicle’s license plate, including using tinted covers, reflective materials, or flipping devices. Drivers caught violating the law face up to a $500 fine or 60 days in jail, with penalties increasing if the plate is used to aid a crime. The measure aims to ensure that plates are readable by cameras, toll systems, and law enforcement.
