#3Saw a few of these this weekend, I'm curious to see if the 407 (Ontario's toll road)cameras can read them at night. I imagine this gets changed quite quickly if they can only read the old plates.

I'm not sure on your logic for that statement, but I can't agree with it as presented.
Reporting of impaired or unsafe driving is something worth preserving, making that require technology severely limits the pool of citizens able to do that, and I don't see any other way to preserve it.

Can you explain? As a cheap and pretty much failure-free means of visually broadcasting the identity of a vehicle, they seem pretty irreplaceable. Anything requiring electronics is much more prone to failure. Even airplanes have their call signs written clearly somewhere on their body.
