Reply to comment by Unable-Ad3852 in It seems that you can pretty much park wherever you want if you have paper plates from somewhere else. by Rarek

How can they track the offences for a car with fake/temp plates? Is the VIN visible somewhere on the exterior?

It's on the driver side encased in the bottom side of the windshield to make it hard to cover. Meter maids press a button and scan the thing when they prefill the tickets. At a minimum it pulls car info like temp registration (dealer license) & insurance. If neither cone up, car shouldn't be in the streets by law.
