Why?

Your phone number is public, but you wouldn't be happy if the lat/long of your phone during various times of the day is public, right?

Maybe not, but if I knew when I bought the phone that I would be legally required to carry a placard around with my current lat/long on it, I wouldn't be shocked if people knew where I was, even if I put the sign down once in a while.

I've got no real issue with being able to cover your plates while parked, but doing so doesn't do much to prevent surveillance or identification - that much is even mentioned in the article.
