As computer plate reading got better and better, this was to be expected.
It’s been used for years at toll plazas.
The algorithms are not perfect. If a “texty” vehicle (like a U-haul with its advertising signage) gets into the sight of the cameras, they can be distracted from the actual plate.
Some states are still single plate. You can be caught going but not coming. Tennessee, for instance.
Sorry, don't mean to call you out...but you do not understand today's vision capture technologies.
They are NOT susceptible to anything surrounding the plate. These systems work in conjunction with enhanced reflectivity/emissivity of the plate itself. The readers/processors can capture, process and alert officers within a fraction of a second, reading hundreds of plates per hour at high speeds, little ambient light.
Very advanced. The only way to defeat the system is to alter the plate in some way...many ways to accomplish this, but most are illegal.
