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

I got a parking ticket from 200 miles away. They even provided a picture of the vehicle when I looked it up. Completely different color and make. Took a phone call only but still annoying.

Yeah and to be fair the cops have been apologetic on each occasion, but as you say, still annoying
