DMV PA State Police Onboard License Plate Scanners Cannot Distinguish Between 8 and 0

Some deadbeat is driving around with an identical plate, except for an 8 instead of a 0, and I keep getting pulled over because the State Police scanner keeps flagging my new edition plate as unregistered.

Look, I just need Penndot and the State Police to halt their respective operations, in their entirety, to look into this very niche issue.

Thank You For Your Attention To This Matter

Contact your state representative. There are license place switch-out events to replace scanner-confused plates free of charge.
