You might consider how well an automated plate reader works on a fake paper tag. [/quote]

An automated plate reader that can't pick up a fake tag would be a fail in my book.  That, and the bogus "Sovereign Citizen" plates.[/quote]

You might want to think about this for a second. It's a fake tag. It doesn't link to anything. You would still need an officer to stop the car at some point. Since these are automated plate readers, no officer stands around waiting to pull someone over. It will only catch the people who bother to have valid plates. [/quote]

Hard disagree.

A lot of people are printing out these fake tags from images they find online, or buying them from sketchy vendors et cetera.  The patterns of things should be able to be programmed into automated plate readers, along with being able to flag something that looks like a plate but comes up erroneous or problematic, like a disfigured or obscured plate.  ALL of that should in theory be detected by an automated plate reader.  If it doesn't then the police should be finding a different vendor whose product can do that.   And frankly any vendor who isn't thinking about those scenarios shouldn't be in the automated license plate reader business to begin with.[/quote]
