Description

A patrol-vehicle ANPR scanner that auto-reads the plates of vehicles ahead and flags stolen, expired, uninsured, or BOLO hits with an on-screen alert and a scan log. It is the immersion add-on that turns idle patrol into proactive enforcement, and standalone hotlist scanners are rising fast as MDT companions.

Known Failure Modes & Corrective Prompt

  • Spoofable hotlist — a client-side hotlist lets players fake a clear result; resolve the match on the server.
  • Bad ray origin — reading without a forward offset hits the patrol car itself or nothing; cast ahead and verify IsEntityAVehicle.
  • Tick spam — re-firing the same plate every frame floods the server; cache lastPlate and only send on change.

Corrective re-prompt: "Move the Hotlist into server.lua behind isOfficer, cast the shapetest ray forward from the vehicle and check IsEntityAVehicle, and debounce repeated reads with a lastPlate cache."

Framework Integration

  • ESX: ESX = exports['es_extended']:getSharedObject(); gate anpr:checkPlate with xPlayer.job.name == 'police'.
  • QBCore: QBCore = exports['qb-core']:GetCoreObject(); gate with Player.PlayerData.job.name == 'police'.
  • QBox: exports.qbx_core:GetPlayer(src) with the same job.name gate; pull live plates from your vehicle-owner table.

Profit Potential

$250–$3500/mo on Tebex (expected ~$900). [INFERRED] priced within the $50-389 script band against the signal-scraper tebex_snapshot corpus (n=100, median seller $11.85K/mo), scaled for a rising niche.

Trend Signal

↗ rising — strategy: Plate lookup is a core component of MASTER-200 id-076 MDT; standalone ANPR/hotlist scanners rising as patrol-immersion add-ons.

Sales Angle

Bundle-bait for any MDT — the standalone patrol scanner that makes traffic stops feel real and surfaces hotlist hits without a manual lookup. Recommended Tebex price $79.
