Why do all cars look similar/same/cloned now?

I got told that clear plastic license plate covers were illegal. "It the law here in CT. I could give you a ticket. Just fix it", said the 25 year old 'trooper'. I asked him if he had trouble reading the plate. "No. But it's the law", was the answer. Who is the moron that comes up with this ****? (I have not fixed it either.)
It’s illegal because it can interfere with the license plate readers in police cars and on traffic cameras. Many states have made them illegal now.
