They're illegal everywhere that I am aware of. All states have statutes prohibitting any 'alteration' of their license plates. Tinted covers change (alter) the color of the plates and/or obscure the printing on them).

It is an often violated regulation but, no. it is illegal in any state to change the appearance of the license tags so that they can not be readily identified. The good thing about it though, it gives the police probable cause to stop you, ticket you if they wish, and check you out.
anything that deters from being able to read the license plate is considered illegal,just like window tint in the state of ga. GSP.( ga. state patrol)
No, license plate frames are legal in New York.
No they are not, The law says that as long as the numbers are clearly visible they are allowed on the vehicle. i would say if you get ones that reflect the traffic cams get ones that are clear and dont look suspicious as to what their real uses are. "LICENSE PLATE COVERS - This act provides that license plates may be encased in transparent covers so long as the plates are plainly visible and their reflective qualities are not impaired."
