"match make model" sounds very difficult automatically from some traffic camera. "plate isn't used ~simultaneously somewhere" even if it is, which one is legit?
And do what, dispatch the police immediately to both plates? It's also a question of not be caught _for how long_
I read an article a while ago talking about this exact thing. Apparently the answer is yes, the UK police do notice if a number plate makes an impossible journey, and while they didn’t claim in the article that they automatically verify make and model, they do have the ability and motivation to send a police car after both vehicles in such cases.
Of course the story would be slightly more believable if not for the fact that shortly after I read it, the police sent me a speeding ticket for a car which I had sold nine months earlier.
How much of a problem are unregistered drivers in the UK actually? Or is this one of those anecdotes-turned-hypothetical-epidemic things lawmakers use to rally support?
Must match make model and color with the number plate, also must make sure that the real number plate isn't used ~simultaneously somewhere distant.
