Covering rear license plate with gear
I'm considering a hitch-mounted gear rack that would obstruct view of the license plate. How do others handle this issue, please?

You can only get a ticket for state inspection in the state you are tagged in. If you could get one in another state you will have to pass their inspection to get rid of the ticket. Some states front License plate with trailer some with two and some with only one on rear. Some states no plates on trailers. Some with no inspections and some with emissions inspections. Just do what is required in your state for the plates.
Don't know where you got this total bunch of mis-information. You can and will be ticketed for equipment violations in ANY state. ALL states require a rear plate, VISIBLE & readable at all times from a distance of 100' or more. Cover it and you are asking for a citation from any LEO. I do know that there is one state that does not require a plate on a trailer under certain conditions.
