Drive around with a permanent bike rack in the way of your tail plate. No front plates.

I mean if you're planning on doing all these weird work arounds, just get a fake plate/mess with your old plates so the letters are more difficult to read.

A bike rack maintains plausible deniability.

Messing with your plates or getting fake plates could land you in court.

Exactly. Cops hate plate obfuscation and will probably pull you over on that alone. Having a bike rack? They'll probably let it slide.
