When my plate got stolen (it might have fallen off) I rode around for about 2 months with my reg number spelt out in white tape on the curved part of the tail - I bet the camera wouldn't get all of that.
Even found a motorcycle cop riding in my blind spot during traffic build up on the M4 and expected to be pulled over, only for him to speed off after I saw him parked behind me when the traffic stopped. I did have a replacement plate on order so maybe he checked over the radio. I got pulled up in Liverpool over a year later when the cops thought the bike (rather than the plate) was stolen - took ages to explain that as they were really confused.
Carpe Diem!
