In the style of James Bond, a driver from Baden-Baden was on the road with his BMW X5 E70 on Tuesday seemingly had no registration at the front. Reason enough for the officers to stop the SUV and take a closer look. The 54-year-old driver had installed a license plate holder with an integrated "roller blind" that covered the license plate in seconds using a remote control. The driver of the off-road vehicle confirmed that he wanted to avoid "unpleasant pictures". It goes without saying that these license plate holders are of course forbidden and so it is no wonder that the driver now expects a report of license plate abuse. The system can also be recognized immediately. (Video & Photo: Police Upper Franconia)
Tuesday afternoon on the #A9, During an inspection, colleagues from the traffic police detected a X5 with a blind in front of the license plate, which could be closed by remote control.

We wanted to know exactly and ordered a set to test. When installing, we deliberately did not hide the power cable because it should not be permanently installed. Predicate: absolute nonsense! Why do we tell you
- you are doing punishable
- you are doing punishable
- you are doing punishable
- and, you go punishable
- The frame is way too thick and noticeable
- The roller blind works with dirt, snow etc. possibly 2-3 times
- processed extremely cheap
- the license plates are easily concealed even when open
But there is another version. Another is that the license plate holder turns the license plate completely and replaced with an alternative advertising plate or other license plate in seconds. These number plate license plate holders are of course prohibited and not allowed on the road.
In this variant, however, the system is almost invisible and hard to distinguish from a normal license plate holder. At an auto show or a tuning meeting, this version as a billboard in our opinion, but an eye-catcher. This system also works with a remote control. If the vehicle is standing on a fair stand or another exhibition, the license plate can still be turned despite a certain distance.
