Which of course draws a bunch attention to you regardless.

It really doesn't, there are lawful reasons to not have a plate yet.

		Tennesee also doesn't require antique vehicles to display the license plate (only to have it "available upon demand"). It's only 25 years old to be considered "antique."

It's not about hiding — it's about sending a message.

IIRC, Steve Jobs was known to do this in his black plateless Mercedes (decades ago).

Wired even wrote this up (2010). Getting a new lease every 6 months, which apparently legally let him go plateless somehow. https://www.wired.com/2010/08/the-mystery-of-steve-jobs-plat...

I found it pretty grossly offensive a practice.

		I lived nearish to him during this era, and after this article was published, it seemed like every black Mercedes in town started going tagless.
