Yes, 98–99% accuracy in daylight. Photo evidence is legally defensible. Court admissibility not questioned; accuracy is well-established.
Can we use tire chalk in our jurisdiction?
Check recent case law. Multiple jurisdictions ruled chalk unconstitutional. Many cities proactively discontinued chalk. LPR is legally defensible alternative.
What's the cost to implement LPR system?

How often should we waive parking violations on appeal?
40–50% waiver rate indicates fair policies. Higher rates suggest signage/policy problems. Lower rates suggest overly harsh enforcement.
