That&#x27;s a lot of work, plus you don&#x27;t know if the owner of the stolen plate has warrants, suspended license, lack of insurance, or anything else that might cause an ALPRS alert. Better to just remove the plate and go. I commuted in one car for a year with no plate. Drove by cop cars with ALPRS regularly. I don&#x27;t think these things alert when an object passes by but it failed to recognize a license plate.<p>In another car that I&#x27;d just purchased a cop pulled up next to me at a light and asked about my lack of plate. Said I bought it a couple days ago, he said I have X days in this state to get tagged and drove off.
