Improper attachment for clear license plate cover in Conn.

[fra-che]

In Conn. I was stopped for improper attachment by State police because I had a clear plastic cover on my back license plate. One that you get at any auto store.
There was no obstruction of the plate you can see it plainly.

Is there such a law?

PS Is that considered a moving violation?

Tag violations are not moving violations.
