What does a cloned license plate vehicle mean?

[MacPeter]

A cloned license plate vehicle refers to a vehicle where criminals forge and illegally copy the license plate number, model, and color of a legitimate vehicle, thereby disguising smuggled, assembled, scrapped, or stolen vehicles with a seemingly legal appearance. Vehicles that use forged or altered motor vehicle license plates, license plates from other vehicles, or those obtained through deception or bribery can also be referred to as cloned license plate vehicles. License plates, commonly known as vehicle plates, are panels mounted on the front and rear of a vehicle, typically made of aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, or paper, displaying the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information.
