2 options come to mind, neither perfect: 1) My city already has ALPR vans for finding parking ticket scofflaws. Expand use of those finds to find cars with expired, fake, or missing plates. Boot or tow the cars. 2) Use toolbooths to identif

Sure, but it's good to have some perspective and some awe that any of this would've been absolute unbelievable magic just 3 years ago. Even if all AI progress stopped immediately, we'd need 10 years to digest and incorporate
