That reminds me of the guy that added code next to his license plate and would crash traffic cameras that way.
Is this the dude in California that got “null” as a license plate and ended up getting all the fines for which California couldn’t determine whose car it was that ran the red light?
No, it’s this one: https://hackaday.com/2014/04/04/sql-injection-fools-speed-traps-and-clears-your-record/
But the NULL is pretty smart. You get all the tickets but then it’s harder for them to find your actual tickets among all those invalid ones. So you could probably contest them all easily.
"Contest them all easily" -> go to court twice a week and wait in line for an hour to get them waived forever in the off chance that you get a real ticket which only happens to most people once every couple of years.
you are missing the point, now he can always run at 300km/h
"Oh look at that car going 300km/h, guess I can arrest him on the spot now and since this is so serious, I should actually go to court and testify to make sure this guy doesn't get away with it. And since his license plate says "Null", we can charge him for intent to commit a crime in addition to the crime, he'll spend some substantial time in jail for this" - the cop about to pull you over
Actually from what I read he was pretty screwed as the tickets were not turned over by the judge.
okay but I'm pretty sure license plates have a character count limit.
