What are the penalties for vehicle license plate fraud?

[McRafael]

Forgery, alteration, or use of forged or altered motor vehicle registration certificates, license plates, driving licenses, or vehicle licenses will result in confiscation by the traffic management department of the public security authority, detention of the vehicle, detention for up to 15 days, and a fine. If the act constitutes a crime, criminal liability will be pursued in accordance with the law. Steps to take if your license plate is fraudulently used: 1. Gather all favorable evidence: Once the vehicle owner confirms that their license plate has been fraudulently used, they should start collecting all evidence beneficial for the appeal, including photos of the vehicle's appearance, parking tickets, highway toll receipts, dashcam footage, and even surveillance videos from parking lots or residential areas. 2. Submit an appeal to the traffic management department: After collecting all favorable evidence, the vehicle owner can file an appeal with the traffic management department for fraudulent use of their license plate. The purposes of the appeal are twofold: first, to clarify that the owner did not commit the traffic violation, and second, to prompt the police to investigate and apprehend the vehicle with the fraudulent plate. 3. Apply for a new license plate number: If the appeal is successful, the traffic management department will issue a statement confirming the fraudulent use of the license plate. With this statement, the owner can apply to the vehicle management office for a new license plate number.
