Can Fake License Plates Be Recognized by Electronic Surveillance?
2 Answers
Fake license plates can be recognized by electronic surveillance. If a motor vehicle uses a fake license plate and commits a traffic violation, the electronic surveillance system will capture the image, but it cannot issue a specific violation notice because the license plate used by the vehicle is not registered in the traffic management department's database. License Plate Usage Notes: Motor vehicle license plates must not be obscured during use. If a license plate is damaged or lost, it must be replaced promptly. License plates are vehicle-specific and cannot be lent to other vehicles. Once installed, license plates should not be removed arbitrarily. Installation of motor vehicle license plates must be done using screws specified by the vehicle management office. License Plate Replacement Methods: There are two ways to replace a motor vehicle license plate. The first method is to visit the vehicle management office or the traffic management department of the public security authority. The second method is to use the mobile app "Traffic Management 12123" for replacement.
I get particularly excited every time I talk about license plate recognition technology. Electronic eyes rely on high-resolution cameras and intelligent algorithms to scan license plate numbers, analyzing details such as character styles and reflective properties. If a fake plate is poorly made—for example, with misprinted letters or non-reflective materials—the electronic eye can immediately detect the issue. However, high-quality counterfeits might evade detection initially, but backend AI cross-references databases like DMV records to expose inconsistencies. Modern systems also integrate infrared and deep learning, achieving accuracy rates above 95%. Using fake plates is highly risky, potentially leading to erroneous fines or allowing real violations to go unnoticed. I recommend car owners regularly verify their plate status to ensure legal compliance on the road.
