I'm thinking that particular portion of my license plate would get mangled before it went on the car...and there might be a market for an electro-magnetic pulse license plate zapper in the near future.
Did I mention destructive testing is my specialty?
If it is disabled, it will stick out like a sore thumb in a sea of fingers. They already have license scanner technology in some police cars. If your tag doesn't have a readable chip you'll probably get a warning first time and the next time a $500 dollar fine. Then a $1000 fine,then a $2000 and loss of driving privileges for 90 days and then if that still wasn't enough, I'm sure the next time would be the last. My guess would be confiscation of the vehicle by the state, $10'000 fine and possible mandatory jail time as a habitual offender which could be considered a felony.
Take my word, "Resistance Is Futile. You Will Be Assimilated!"
The state having this kind of technology will allow them to do things that you can't even imagine. Oh, and since the police won't have to set up speed traps anymore it will give them more time to write up really important tickets for seat belt infractions and the like.
Ultimately though, it will allow them to pursue the really evil things, like the up and coming
"thought" crimes.
