if there would be legal issues

In my state, this would be illegal without a doubt. Even fully transparent license plate covers are illegal.

A more interesting question is if it's legal to mount a really bright IR light near the plate. Bright enough to swamp out IR-sensitive cameras.

I looked into that, it won’t work. Try for yourself: Put a flashlight near your license plate and take a picture from 20 feet away. Chances are good you’ll be able to read it just fine.
