Did you read the article? All those fines were from other people, erroneously applied to him when the police officer didn’t fill in the information on the citation.
I doubt the guy had several different car makes on hand to commit some sort of nationwide parking violation spree with the same plate but different cars in places where it’s impossible to even drive between the two places in the time between both timestamps.
It’s illegal to have consequences for not paying your fines???
He literally fucked around, and found out.
Huh? They’re not his fines. The software is just shit so it puts all fines with no license plate as matching his.

Isn’t that kind of the point?
There is no way to know if he committed those crimes, or he didn’t.
“There’s no way to know if he used the plate on dozens of vehicles in dozens of states, some at the same time.”
“There’s no way to prove him guilty so he should have to pay!”

So then he’s innocent, case closed.
The standard is to assume innocence, not assume guilt
