Considering they all seem to have pretty distinguishable plates, why on earth *arent* they telling the public. I know Id have more luck remembering a certain number plate than "a white car" at a roundabout :waitasec:
Perhaps being so suggestive about the plates might unintentionally cause a problem with 'false memories' (yes that is real and I didn't make it up ). Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable- if you suggest someone may have seen something they may fill in the gaps and think they have. For example- if someone robs a bank and you ask if I saw the robber holding a gun under his jacket, I might not actually remember- but that suggestion creates a 'memory' that I did.
If people bring up the personalized plates of their own accord it would be more reliable.
