Unfortunately ANPR can read almost any plate, if it can't for some reason it will alert the crew anyway and you get tugged for a routine check. They are increasingly been installed at fixed roadside locations too, there is almost no escape. The days of a sympathetic cops discretion are over.
I recall seeing a movie years ago, it was Sci-Fi sometime in the future, in one scene there was a guy on a bike, he'd had a hard day and was out on a deserted road in the States somewhere having a bit of high speed fun to relax. As he accelerates away from a bend at a rate of knots a low level, hidden roadside enforcement cam snaps him for speeding, and it shows a computer screen somewhere almost instantly I.D.'ing him, the vehicle, endorsing his licence, fining him, deducting that from his bank account and printing out the notification letter !
That day is almost with us.
