Lifehack: if you buy a 9 character vanity plate, you can get out of traffic fines by responding to the demand letter with the objection that the listed number plate in the letter isn't yours.
Whichever form printing software they use cuts it down to 8 chars for whatever reason.

Worked for several years in my state, unfortunately I think they fixed it recently.

This isn't even a SQL problem. This is a "people filling out the forms are stupid" problem. Why would you put a combinations of letters and numbers that could be a valid license plate number into the plate field for a car that has no plates. Draw one giant X or a big line through the box, problem solved.

That wouldn't solve the problem by itself because then all that happens is the transcriptionist entering the ticket into the database takes it upon herself to enter "MISSING" or "XXXXXXX" or "NO TAG" because the drat input field in the UI is compulsory. :v:
