Yup that's some 007 ***** right there!

I saw a motorized version of this somewhere on CL but the link to buy them didn't work. Still pretty cool if you don't like having a front plate:

will this actually work for camera lights? they do take a picture of your car and yourself.

searching the data base, they can just pull your vin or plates?

cameras only take a pic of the car not the driver. Without a plate they won't be able to find your info.

in some areas of brooklyn here they snap a picture of the Front & Back of the car to prove the position when the light was red. youll need something for the front if thats the case to fully beat the system, they have this little plate holder that ive seen that at an upward angle it creates a shiny hologram that covers the #'s pretty well but as people said 1 look from an officer and prepare to bend over.
