This hacker received $12,000 in parking tickets after his 'NULL' license plate trick backfired:
A security researcher by the name of Droogie decided to mess with the Automatic License Plate Reader systems that issue traffic fines, securing the vanity plate"NULL," part for fun and part in the hope that this spoofed the system into returning errors whenever his plate was seen. Instead he received more than $12,000 in fines—clearly his plate became a dumping ground for erroneous data records.
After owning the plate for a while, Droogie discovered that any vehicles without plates were being assigned a"NULL" value by the data processing centre—and unluckily for Droogie he had provided a neat place for all those null entries and unassigned tickets to get parked .
