The Punjab Safe City Authority (PSCA) has stepped up action against vehicles using fake, cloned, tampered, or concealed number plates, with AI-powered cameras now automatically detecting suspicious registrations.
According to a PSCA spokesperson, the advanced camera system can identify number plates that have been altered or hidden using tape, cloth, or other methods. Once a suspicious plate is detected, the system automatically generates an alert.
Relevant details of the vehicle are then immediately shared with the nearest field force so that action can be taken without delay.
Safe City data shows that more than 100 fake, cloned, and suspicious vehicles were intercepted in July alone with the help of AI-based cameras.
The authority has warned motorists that using a fake or tampered number plate can result in both a traffic fine and the registration of a criminal case.
The spokesperson added that hiding an original number plate, covering it with tape or cloth, or altering its numbers is illegal, and violators will face legal action without discrimination.
