Answer
What happens if Mallorca’s cameras make mistakes with license plates?
Mistakes are possible, especially if a plate is dirty, partly hidden, or misread by the system. That is why there needs to be a clear review process before any fine or other consequence is applied. Without proper checks, people in Mallorca could be penalized because of a technical error rather than real wrongdoing.
