Want to bet? Accumulated dirt is just as good as a plate cover for getting a ticket. You may get more leniency for snow build-up, particularly during or right after a storm, but seeing as you should already be clearing snow off your tail lights anyways, a quick sweep of the license plate shouldn't be seen as an onerous task.
My son got cornered by 4 squad cars, lights flashing. 2 Ottawa, 1 RCMP and 1 military police. Scared the sh*t out of him. Came off the 417 in slush and had an unreadable rear plate. The officer (female) gave him a 110.00 ticket for a damaged plate. Would not let him out of the car to show it was dirty snow and wipe it clean. Insisted it was damaged and must be replaced. :dunno:
