It's a camera, I don't think it really minds if you point it front or rear facing. Some may have specific mounts but many are just universal, mount and point it wherever you can.

Useless? What if a driver rear ends you and a rear facing camera would have caught him looking down at his phone or something like that? The only thing the license plate would be useful for is helping to identify a hit-n-run. Even then I've heard in many areas if there is no bad injury they still will not pursue the license plate if you don't also have a positive ID of the persons face on the camera too.
