San Francisco authorities on Wednesday announced legal action against major retailers to prevent the sale of illegal license plate covers that allow criminals to evade law enforcement.
Chiu said the electronic covers are available online from major retailers Amazon, Walmart, eBay and Etsy, and his office has sent cease-and-desist letters to each of those companies. "The only reason someone would put a cover like this on their license plate is to get away with a crime," Chiu said in a statement."These products are illegal to sell and use in California. Both the sellers and users of these illegal license plate covers need to be reminded of that. We are bringing this to the attention of these large retailers, and we are hopeful they will do the right thing and stop selling illegal license plate covers to California residents.
