N.C.P.I.—Crim. 270.62
WILLFULLY COVERING REGISTRATION PLATE. INFRACTION.
The defendant has been charged with willfully covering a registration
plate.
For you to find the defendant responsible for this infraction, the State
must prove the following three things beyond a reasonable doubt.
First, that the defendant was an operator of a motor vehicle.
Second, that the defendant willfully [covered] [caused to be covered]
a part or portion of a registration plate or the figures or letters on a
registration plate.
And Third, that the defendant used a device [designed] [intended] to
[prevent] [interfere with] the taking of a clear photograph of a registration
plate by a traffic control system using cameras.
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date the defendant was an operator of a motor vehicle and
that the defendant willfully [covered] [caused to be covered] a part or
portion of a registration plate or the figures or letters on a registration plate
by using a device [designed] [intended] to [prevent] [interfere with] the
taking of a clear photograph of a registration plate by a traffic control
system using cameras, it would be your duty to find the defendant
responsible. If you do not so find or have a reasonable doubt as to one or
more of these things, it would be your duty to return a verdict of not
responsible.
