Please explain how losing the ability to move through society without every cop knowing you exactly who you are isn't. I'll wait.

Okay, from a naive POV, if this was only used for that purpose, sure it's too bad. But there's logging, theres extra info gathered here.

Scanning a plate instantly enters at a minimum, into a DB:

• car info
• location
• timestamp
• speed
• owner

Do that a multiple times to the same car across the area, every day, now you can extrapolate where they go, when they go, predict what they're doing in the future, the route they take the likely speed they'll go and all sorts of other privacy invading info.

This data could be used to accuse you of a crime, of cheating on your spouse, of speeding without a speed camera based on distance between scans, doing nefarious in their eyes things, etc.

Edit: and just imagine if this data leaked, which it likely would. Stalkers would love it, among theives and all sorts of other people.

Actually fuck this I don't have time for these bad faith bullshits anymore. Blocking is a lovely feature.
