The vast majority don't. If you're messing in a major way with the odometer it will eventually be found out.

Some new special meter that does the exact some thing as an odometer will be just as subject to tampering. If you're looking for a 100% foolproof system you won't find such a thing in the real world.

You make the penalties big enough to deter most tampering.
