The Cops Are Gonna Love That: License Plate Flipper

This is the $455 License Plate Flipper, a device that, with the push of a button, flips your license plate to reveal a different one in 1.2-seconds. The company says the thing was designed for not getting your plate dirty when offroading or concealing your plate at a car show, despite the fact the Lexus in the video would never go offroading or be in a car show and is sporting two different plates from two different states. I guess the company just has to say that so the police don't come knocking after somebody gets busting doing something illegal with one. Which I plan on!

*flashing police lights*
Officer: Sir, do you know why I pulled you over?
Me: Maybe.
Officer: You kept flipping your license plate between the actual plate and a cartoon penis.
Me: Hehe, guilty as charged!
Officer: License and registration, please.
Me: What if I told you I'm a Transformer?
Officer: I'm going to have to ask you to step out of the car, sir.
Me: Okay.
Officer: STEP OUT OF THE CAR, SIR.
Me: But you said you were gonna ask!

Thanks to Mnemosyne, who has a license plate flipper that can rotate through not one, not two, not three, but 700 plates. Wow!
