Not if its a stolen car, car without plates in some area they aren't likely to be caught or one of those cars that has that thing that can change numberplates
The car with the changeable numberplate would be harder to catch if it was a super common car in the area as well
So that's how Bond managed to fill up the DB5 on a civil servant's salary.
all those things are risky as fuck with police AI number plate recognition these days. it would take no time at all to track someone down over $50 theft
$50 for the gas theft... how much for the tampering with government mandated ID, or whatever they'd call swapping plates?
exactly. its a crime from a different era, risks far outweigh reward now
