He also said that non compliant backgrounds and symbols on the plate are also able to be detected with the new camera systems. So far I know of 3 people that have been caught by this system locally already. Sounds like a great money maker doesn't it
Like speed cameras not a problem to those that do not exceed the speed limit, this system will not a problem to those with legal plates.

Should they have a public campaign to try to advise the public first and give them a chance to get legal plates?
