      It’s even more boring than that - the license plate system already searches ambiguous characters. It’s almost like this issue comes up even without people gaming the system.

          Something like that, yeah, I think the system automatically checks… Although this has 8 ambiguous characters, so actually you could have 256 cars with virtually indistinguishable plates, which is a lot. I believe custom plates have an approval process, and I wonder if this would be part of it. Like, “Yeah, no more black lincoln town cars with all I’s and 1’s, something’s up.”

      This is why I don’t have a tag on my car. Can’t track my license plate if I don’t have a license plate. It’s foolproof!

        This is even dumber than the morons who think any plate that’s days “private” has any hope of passing any kind of check.
