Found the regulations, but still confused:
Attachment of number plates
3.011 Number plates issued for a vehicle under the Commercial Transport Act or Motor Vehicle Act must be attached
(a) one plate to the front and one plate to the rear of the vehicle, if 2 number plates are issued for a vehicle, and
(b) to the rear of the vehicle, if a single number plate is issued for a vehicle.
[en. B.C. Reg. 279/2006.]
Number plates in horizontal position
3.02 A number plate shall at all times be securely fastened in a horizontal position to the vehicle for which it is issued.
There is nothing defining the "rear" of vehicle..and "securely fastened" is open to intetpretation..suggestions?

"A number plate shall at all times be securely fastened in a horizontal position"
Taping it to your rear window is not securely fastened, AND it's not in a horizontal position, therefor they way you mounted it is illegal.

For sure I can get something to work tonight or tomorrow, but I have a meeting tonight, so I won't have time to come up with a fix until later.

Might be able to get away with it for the night...

The rationale of not having plates in the car is when there is an accident, it will fly off and cut something appendages off someone.

I wonder if it's a problem to have it behind the rear window because the normal spot would usually be lit by some LEDs so you can see it at night, whereas if at night even without tint it can be hard to see your license plate

EDIT: Wouldn't the back window technically obstruct the plate anyways?

a lot of older European cars just use coarse threaded screws that cut into the bumper plastics and call it a day.
So you can do the same with your modern day JDM mad tyte ride I assume.
