Exactly. It might also make life harder for these new camera based plate readers they're putting in a lot of cop cars that are capable of running every plate they drive by (supposedly to check for stolen cars, but more likely for revenue generation for expired plates).
Of course, it's going to be pretty pointless on a car with volumes as low as the 1 Series, at least if the Cop is serious about catching you. He'd know it was a small BMW, a quick check of the website would confirm it's a 1 Series, he'd know the color, and the state the plate was from, and then he'd be knocking at your door.
