I'd love to eat crow on this and hear why I'm wrong, but you do realize as you're driving down the street other real people can read your license plate right?! Gasp!
I have never understood blocking plates. do you block your plate when you drive? Did you know I have a pen in my car and can write down your license plate while following you? Do you tell the cop when he pulls you over that you block it on websites so you figured it was ok to block it while driving?

I pronounce it like "I'm sitting on the front Porch" just to see reactions.

I use to run this plate on the back of my 911 but was always afraid I'd stuff it into a guard rail or something and someone would take a picture, I've since returned to a regular plate:
