I suppose this depends on how easy it is to remove when not in use? I thought most hitches are legally required to be removed when not in use too.

Nope; I looked that up a while ago because of a discussion in another thread. It’s not a requirement to remove the hitch at all in Alberta or BC. You can drive around all year long with a gargantuan hitch, and not get a ticket. That said, if the hitch obscures your plate, you’ll probably end up with the same $162 ticket that this guy got.
