What are the issues with cloned license plate vehicles?

Disrupting public security control by authorities and creating social instability factors. Cloned license plate vehicles not only severely interfere with good road traffic order but also increase the probability of traffic accidents. Moreover, since these vehicles lack legal documentation and insurance, drivers are highly likely to flee the scene in case of an accident, significantly increasing the difficulty of case investigation. Cloned license plates refer to altering the vehicle frame number, engine number, or 17-digit code to match another vehicle's model and fully replicate its documentation. Cloned license plate vehicles, commonly known as ghost cars, are vehicles that operate on the road using forged or illegally obtained license plates and registration documents from other vehicles. This includes vehicles using counterfeit or altered license plates, those using license plates from other vehicles, and those obtaining license plates through fraudulent or bribery means. Due to lax management of vehicles and license plates, the practice of cloning license plates has been escalating—from cloning civilian plates to specialized, military, and police plates, and from modified or assembled vehicles to scrapped or stolen vehicles, even extending to reacquiring vehicle plates through deception or bribery.
