## About this plate

OKLAHOMA HIGHWAY PATROL. Two facts a parse API should carry: the numeric component is a badge number and therefore not an issuance counter, and the glyph between the letters and the digits is the state seal. 335) and is an UPPER BOUND on this series' true start, which certainly predates it; the § 1113(B)(5) specification itself carries no date in the text read. Recorded as an upper bound rather than invented.

## Who the plate belongs to

Flagged as a possible vocabulary addition alongside vehicle/owner/business.

## How numbers are issued

not sequential in the ordinary sense, the number is the assigned officer's badge number, so the serial is keyed to a PERSON rather than to an issuance counter. That is an unusual binding and it is stated in the statute.
