    The mistake is not hers. A suspect’s license plate was entered incorrectly—mixing up a zero and the letter O—and her completely valid plate now matches that bad entry in the system.

        Actually, people make this mistake too, so jurisdictions should fix the root of the issue. Which is confusing characters even being allowed on the plate to begin with.

      When you were saying “you” it was not clear you were asking about the state’s systems of distributing license plates containing both zero and O instead of this individual’s license plate. The number of downvotes on your original post suggests I was not the only one confused by your statement.

        In your license plates

        They pluralized it, it clearly isn’t about someone’s personal plate, they were speaking at large.

        Yes, because one person (this being you) incorrectly called them out and caused people to just downvote without reading it. This is entirely on you dude.

          Most jurisdictions I’m aware of have a plate on the front and back of the car. The plural still reads as a single car with my original reading.

          I fully admit I had the wrong reading with the additional viewpoint. Can you now admit that there are multiple ways to interpret the original post even if my first reading wasn’t the correct one?
