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]

Sounds like that stupid gun argument

No. It reads the tag. If the tag is fake, stolen, paper or missing it reads, records and sends an alert. The alerts are sent to police in the area. These are not dumb non linked programs. The reader can identify the color, model and make of the car. Some they also have facial recognition.

In most jurisdictions that use readers, the readers are on every police cars. They are expanding that to include buses(public and school), parking enforcement, emergency vehicles and all major roads. You can actually track a tags travel history back to a neighborhood.

I have been targeted by automated plate readers before. If you search on my first name and last name, you will find plenty of outstanding warrants. Last time the cops told me I need to change my name.[/quote]
