My own opinions, not my employer's/ORGs I belong to.
Many people who live & reside in Fairfax County, exemptions are for active duty & diplomats.

Drivers have criminal intent by utilizing opaque covers/other forms of altering their plates
www.wusa9.com/article/news...

It's clear how criminality is built into car-centric transportation systems.
Can you legally cover your license plate in DC, Maryland or Virginia?
A video posted online shows a Maryland driver with a remote license plate cover. Are those legal?

VA doesn't enforce the law that requires vehicles to be registered in 60 days in the county, many drivers are preventing automated ticket enforcement via states w/o reciprocity, but also evading local property taxes as they use local benefits & infrastructure:

"Starve the beast" a strategy used by the right to attack all government functions at every level.

When public schools were no longer able to freely discriminate after 1954 Brown v BoE, that is when segregation academies, vouchers, charters, etc. All w/ long term goal of school only 4 the rich.

Ebikes have helped bridge some of that.. but frankly for me I like the 6 speeds on my Brompton and note they even have some with 12 speeds now.

I encourage your municipality to have something like this bike map from my county, if they don't already.

"Mr. Alvarez, ..., regularly falsified figures by submitting fictitious deductions, business expenses, capital losses and tax credits to get clients higher refunds, court documents show."

For small businesses & individuals.
