RFID Chips In License Plates- How Do I Disable Them?

Uuuuuh, I've never heard of chips in liscense plates. Where do you live?

Pop them in the microwave for 1minute :)

Just try to scrap it off.

Just smack it with a hammer, not real hard, just a good hit.

Yes, this is a common method. Nobody has the right to place a chip on anything you own and possess.

Yea just make sure your microwave doesent blow :) wear goggles just in case.

I didn't know they put these in plates.

Will you be able to see were it is, if so, then a smack with a hammer is in order. Just don't make it obvious though. If you can not detect were it is, then you hook up the red jumper cable to one end, and the black to the other end, and jump start the little fucker. You should do it a few times just to be sure it is not working...Have fun!

What states are using these chips in the license plates?

Could make one of these but honestly the hammer sounds faster.

What state are you in to have rfid on your plate. Don't forget about rfid in tires while your at it.

Had to go googling on this topic and found this from 2005...

Ask the Brits how they like their chips

I guess you can, I mean, that is the normal remedy, but licenses plates are usually metal..Wouldn't this cause a slight problem though, well that is, if you want to use the microwave again? Go get a throw-away micro and have at it.
Shit, edit for not reading your response correctly--Durrp.
"but use a disposable microwave"

Neodymium Magnet a 1/4" thick 2" x 2" plate style magnet should do the trick.

^^^THIS^^^^ the easy and fun way

I would like to see a link discussing this being used in the United States.

A very powerful magnet on them should do the trick. You can buy super powerful small magnets online for a few dollars. They will stop the chip from functioning or responding when queried by a radio.

Also, heating them to over 200 degrees will usually do it (but test them afterwards to make sure). If you have a chip, you cannot be held responsible if it fails! <wink wink> The state should have used better quality chips is a reasonable defense. Just don't get caught causing the failure or leave evidence of your having done so, either. Don't be stupid, just shut it off.

Use a public one.

Got one at work? :p

Excellent Point..Run on into 7-11 and help yourself...Heehehe

Is thee some way to hit it with some kind of EMP?

I'll try the microwave first.

How do I know if the chip has been disabled?

You should hear/see a *pop*

Just like if you put a $20 bill into a microwave.

Strip an extension cord and zap it by touching across it with the live leads. It will produce an emp burning the chip out

throw it on the bbq

That will ruin your microwave and not nessecerely the chip voltage takes the easy bath of resistance and besides a microwave is a short wave radio signal and not a electric pulse.

Yes, there are many ways to destroy it.. so simple a child could do it.

But what I want to know is are there any US states that are currenlty putting this into plates?

LINK please!

So I should microwave my money?

No.

Only if you carry 50k around trying to hide it.

Other than that - who cares?

Everything has a fucking RFID tag.
Think your car doesn't?
The chair?
Shoes?
Ect.

With ketchup.

No rfid here in number plates here..

Wake up the United Kingdom has had RFID-enabled license plates since 2004.

RFID-enabled license plates to identify UK vehicles

Sigh, learn to read dumbass.

The e-Plates project has been under development for the past three years at a cost of more than £1 million, and is currently under consideration by a number of administrations. It is hoped that e-Plate will be one of the systems trialled by the UK Government in its forthcoming study of micro-chipped licence plates.

Well...

There are passive systems and active systems... It would change your strategy for elimination depending what you find.

OP, Please take the plates off of the vehicle and take a picture of both sides and at least 1 cross-section. Post those somewhere we can get a good look at them.

At the same time... it is hard to realize why any agency would care where the plates are.

Various parties will be attracted to tracking the vehicle and known possible occupants (that's you).

So what you are going to need to do is crawl around under your car and have a look on a regular schedule for planted devices.

otherwise... the bad news is.... any navigation system has a GPS which registers and cross references your identity according to the item that is tracked.

the antennae are likely in the windshield.

so, those short range RFID are mostly used by stores as part of anti-theft systems. They activate passively when you pass by the transceiver. Anything related to a vehicle would likely want to take advantage of the constant power source, whereupon there would be the possibility to include the power consuming amplifier circuits that would allow random tracking and longer effective ranges.

more bad news, these GPS systems are small though they should require power... if it is a temporary installation, some battery operated device is feasible.

More than likely... permanent tracking devices will be embedded within unrelated sub-systems ...

those Key-fobs that open your door-locks at the push of a button... well... if you disable the antennae... that shit won't work either.

I meant to include the newer link so here it is you non-thinking socialist kept pet wake up every loss of freedom starts in the United Kingdom because you give up your rights without a whimper. Good grief you have CCTV cameras everywhere including your trash bins why do you believe they did not chip your car license plates. Britain, Canada and some states in the United States are trying RFID chipped license plates.

Brits to get RFID-chipped license plates

The UK Department for Transport just gave the go-ahead for a trial of new, RFID-enabled license plates aimed to make vehicles trackable in Britain.
