An Oakland woman, Ann Nomura, was pulled over by Hayward police after her license plates were identified as stolen and linked to a serious crime. The incident was triggered by a Flock license plate reader. Nomura was treated as a potential criminal during the stop, highlighting the dangers of cold-plating, a tactic used by thieves to evade detection.
