I drive in Indy a lot (I work there, but commute in from another city) and my plate isn't obscured by my hitch rack when its empty, but sure is by my bike when it's on the rack. I wonder how common this is?

Did you get the ticket on Saturday? That was RAIN, and there were tons of cars driving across the state with bike racks. I wonder if it was an opportunistic chance to make some money :-(
