My state has only rear license plates too. My mid-sized SUV has a trailer hitch. I’ve found that my bike rack that goes on the trailer hitch obscures the license plate enough that the automatic readers don’t work as I’ve gone through a number of “toll by mail” situations and they didn’t bill me later.
Once word of this gets out they will make bike racks illegal.
Disclaimer: I’m actually willing to pay the toll. Put in a kiosk into which I can throw the toll and I don’t have a problem.

In the movie Two Way Blacktop, every time the protagonists drive into a new state the first thing they do is steal the plates off a local car. The idea is that cops won’t harass them because of out of state plates.
I don’t know that it’s much of an issue nowadays since rental cars have plates from all over the country, even if you rented locally.
Hey old FRiend!! One of my coffee buddies has a Louisiana Tech University vanity plate and a son that lives in Houston. He claims he’s not been billed for a toll in Texas for five years. Apparently, the cameras can’t read the plate.
