📜 Playbook — License Plate exploitation
- Direction — frame the requirement for License Plate: what decision does this support, by when?
- Collection — pull the 2 mapped sources (2 free) and the native workbench; capture provenance and observe OPSEC.
- Processing — normalize, de-duplicate and enrich the collected data.
- Analysis — correlate against local holdings; apply ACH; assign confidence.
- Dissemination — open a case, draft a report, share via STIX/MISP.
- Feedback — set an alert rule / watchlist to monitor for change.

🎫 License Plate
A license/registration plate is a jurisdiction-issued alphanumeric identifier tying a vehicle to a registered keeper and region. Plates enable movement tracking via ANPR/ALPR, convoy analysis, and linking sightings to owners, though cloning and false plates are common countermeasures.
Format: Jurisdiction-specific patterns (e.g. UK 'AB12 CDE', US state formats, EU country band). Normalized by stripping spaces and applying per-region regex/format masks.
📡 How it is collected
- ANPR/ALPR camera reads (fixed and mobile)
- Toll and congestion-charge systems
- Parking and enforcement databases
- Photographs and dashcam footage
- Vehicle registration authority records
- Social media / marketplace images
