You could e.g. ostensibly produce valid license plates, which could be further reduced by matching the car color and model, to produce a small set of calid records.

Sure, but if we go by how the police works now, they will take a plate produced by the computer as 100% given and arrest/shoot the owner of that plate because "computer said so".

Such an algorithm would likely get the state wrong. This is error prone and fraught with real world difficulties that could get people shot.

You could also just pick a random license plate. It would be just as accurate.
