This seems to be a valid self-defence tactic. Grinder, large bumper with a push bar, what ever it takes to drop the device. Truck Bros can back up to the pole and push. They are designed to break away after all
Yeah, give them a nice clear picture of your license plate as it tumbles down...broadcast right to their servers
We had a guy here who stole a plate of a cop car and drove through a speed enforcement camera to the tune of $6000 worth of fines to the cop car. Not saying you should do anything like that but you have to respect his hustle
If only there were some way to temporarily cover up the license plate.
