Laws are laws. We raised our kids telling them that "you just obey the law". If you choose to break the law, you do so with a logical reason prepared, which might excuse you in the mind of the officer at a given stop, and then simply accept the consequences. Example, driving faster than the speed limit or running a rural stop sign when you are the only car around.
Laws are made for a large group, not necessarily for individuals. When individuals decide they are above the law, the result is more laws for we naturally law abiding individuals. You know, we self-governed types.
So why don't we all do each other a favor and learn the law of our state, and abide it? Don't try and bend it, or "get by with something". If the law is bad, get into action with others and get it changed!
Wyoming doesn't require licensing a TC. We bought Lil' Queeny from Oregon where apparently TC licensing is the law.
In Wyoming, the law is to have the truck plated and "visible". You can't let any cargo (or mud) obscure the plate, because the law states its visibility requirements. So these little arguments are the same as "being prepared with a logical reason, but then just take your citation lumps". Better yet, give the cops a break and don't make them pull you over to begin with. Learn your law and abide it.
Regardless of the state, I bet the end result is to have "a" vehicle registration plate visible from the rear in a defined way. Just because a hitch might cover it doesn't mean the law is void.
