My "Lose The License Plate" Invention (Check This Out)

Hey guys,
I saw a topic on brake light toggle switch, and I remembered back when I thought there could be a way to make your license plate go down just by pulling a cable. Here's what you could do: Rig a cable to the drivers seat near the hood-popper, then run it back to the liscense plate, tie it to the top of the license plate, throw a spring in there and your set, if you need to lose the cops, just do it and pull the switch, and your liscense plate goes down (I just remembered, Camaros only). Pretty nifty or pretty stupid? With the right materials and equipment, I am sure it can be done, right?

That'd be a good idea, but what about the front plate?

I don't really have a front plate on my car but I figure the cops are looking at the back of a camaro, but maybe the front of a mustang, so I never though of it, just an idea. Maybe you can think one up

Good luck at getting off with a warning when they do catch you.

BAD IDEA

Do a search. This comes up every once in a while, and the last time there were many good/bad ways to do it mentioned. The general consensus was: BAD IDEA>>LOSERS ONLY, though, so beware. The only people who gave a crap were under 18 anyway...

Along with my brake light kill switch, I put in a license plate light kill switch. I figure if you are going to risk the penalty of turning off lights to evade police, might as well turn em all off.
