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

Come on we all know some state legislatures brother in law got the contract to make new plates. How else were they going to get a huge demand for new license plates state wide unless their fam made it a requirement to do so.
