Digital license plates now available as option for Arizona motorists

Arizona drivers now have another option for their license plates, one that the tech savvy will love - electronic digital plates.

The new plate option is called Rplate Digital License Plates. According to the Arizona Department of Transportation, they are LTE wireless connected devices similar to a tablet. The license plate number is constantly displayed, and the technology allows for added messages such as "invalid," "stolen" and other notifications if needed.

    I kind of doubt anyone wants this. Now, I've seen people who've had their license plate's whole left two inches (with the current year registration sticker) tin-snipped off, and a solution for that would be appreciated.

    A tech-savvy person will find a way to hack it.

    I moved to Florida. Inspections were discontinued about a decade ago. Nobody will check to see if you sold the airbags and catalytic converter. You can roll coal. You can mis-aim your headlights. You can cut pit toilets through your seats. You can weld the doors shut, entering and leaving via the windows.

      Nothing unusual for Floridians.
