I dunno. One of the guys at a past ECXC (like 4 or 5 years ago) had one on his plate, and damned if you stepped two steps to the side and you could NOT see the plate numbers at all.
If you can't see them with your eyes at 6 feet, a camera isn't going to see them, either...flash or not. The human eye is much more sensitive than a camera.
(Note - this is assuming the camera is on the side of the road and taking the picture when the vehicle is relatively close (like a red-light camera). A camera with a straight on shot will see it just fine.)
