Why even bother?
In New York City, speed cameras are only allowed in designated school zones, which encapsulate a quarter-mile radius of school buildings. The current state law allowing for the cameras is set to expire in 2022.

FYI:
NY's statute specifically states that plates “shall not be covered by glass or any plastic material, and shall not be knowingly covered or coated with any artificial or synthetic material or substance that conceals or obscures such number plates or that distorts a recorded or photographic image of such number plates.”

Less obvious, google plate spray.
Also, like lots of drivers have done with their NY plate, bit of acid and half the plate comes off.
I think you are not allowed to drive with a license plate that is damaged by acid and falls off.
Vehicle and Traffic Laws 392-a, 2130, and 402 all control and punish criminal conduct associated with license plates. Convictions of Vehicle and Traffic Laws (VTL) 392-a and 2130 yield surprisingly stern punishments for mere violations of the New York traffic law.
VTL 402 charges are the least serious of the three. Subdivision 1(b) of VTL 402 prohibits driving with obstructed, damaged, or obscured plates. Since roughly 2005, manufacturers have sold spray on formulas that are invisible to the eye, but, obstruct the cameras and equipment required for reading tolls. This formula cost the state a great deal of money in tolls. The statute is plainly worded with the offending spray in mind. It covers other types of obstructions as well, including, but not limited to: tinted frames that darken the plate so it can’t be read, having mud on the plate, bending or concealing the plate so that it is out of sight, having the plate covered in snow and road debris, and removing lettering from the license plate. VTL 402 convictions yield a violation with a maximum penalty of a $200.00 fine. https://www.tilemlawfirm.com/new-yor...-offenses.html
