Doctored number plates bought online for as little as £10 are being used to trick enforcement cameras and avoid Ulez charges.
An expert warned there are a million 'misreads' a day due to the number platesDoctored number plates bought online for as little as £10 are being used to trick enforcement cameras and avoid Ulez charges.Some are tinted which means some cameras can't read the plate and identify the driver, despite it looking normal to the naked eye.Some are stolen, counterfeit or have black tape over them.
Former government surveillance camera commissioner Tony Porter told The Times that around 80 to 90 per cent of the 'misreads' are because of dimming - the practice of tinting a number plate. Fake number plates can be bought for as little as £10 from any of the 40,000 largely unregulated sellers while reflective 'stealth' tape to make plates invisible to ANPR infrared cameras can be purchased online for just £80.
