To protect against plate cloning, consider using tamper-proof license plate screws that break away if someone tries to remove them, or apply a specialized coating that makes it difficult to take a clean photo of your plate without a reflection. Also, park in well-lit areas with cameras when possible, and if you notice anything suspicious like a similar car with your plate number, report it to the police immediately.
