Yes, tinted plate covers are illegal. Yes, you could get a ticket but (though it would be a pain) it wouldn't stick in court. #1 the odds of the person showing up to the hearing is pretty low. #2 How would the person know how fast you were going unless they match it would then get them a ticket #3 They have no implied credibility.
