Were you thinking that your only camera would be rear facing? Most people start with front facing, for which you need rear plates for most incidents.
I think you need front and rear cameras regardless of license plate. If you don't have both, you don't have the whole story of what happened. I bought a rear camera after an incident where I realized that with only front video, the video evidence would actually tell a false story that made it look like I would have been at fault had I been hit.
