I’m pretty sure the cameras around here don’t use OCR at all or even if it does it only recognizes the format for plates from a thing shaped like a plate. So if you’re driving like an ass with the drop tables-“plate” that is pretty relevant.
The Bobby Tables one I’m quite sure would work at least on some systems if they let you input your kids name by yourself to some sort of digital form. Or at least I would be pretty surprised if every school system on earth would be patched against simple sql injections.

the only thing they have in common is the license plate. that is like saying that every joke that starts with “three people walk into a bar” is basically the same joke.
but here, have a photo that is actually relevant to the submitted xkcd ;)
The license plate cameras near me simply take a photo when motion is detected and send it to the server or stores it until connection is reestablished. Then they use image recognition on the car to determine the make and model and on the license plate. They also claim that they can record items such as bumper stickers or body damage. I think that they probably have humans review cars that don’t match exactly. My guess is that they use object detection to isolate the license plate, but you could probably make one by printing text onto a piece of paper and gluing it onto some cardboard. I also think you could mess with it if you put a decal of a letter or number next to your license plate.

is this your car?
no
I feel like one Z should be a 2 for good measure
