It's illegal here in Georgia too. And I've seen it posted on some sites that they DO pull you over for it in this state. HOWEVER, I've lived in Georgia since 2013, In Oregon 12 years prior to that, and Florida for 20 years prior to that, and I've never been pulled over in ANY of these places for this,
One solution is to move the license plate. However, Georgia law requires the plate to be lighted at night so you can't just stick it in the rear window or whatever. Thule make a lighted license plate frame for their bike racks, about $49 from REI.
