You could follow bank truck routes.
You could find where someone lives based on an instagram photo of them standing behind their car.
You see a car in a driveway and check it against the app you built with this data to find out when they're not home to interrupt your burglary.
You could plan hijackings of valuable shipments.
or kidnappings of wealthy people.
Lots of crap you can do when you basically know where someone or some vehicle is at all times.
I'm sure there's much worse, that's all I can think up from comic books and TV, but real pro criminals must have a million uses.
- oxguy3 11y agoYou don't even have to be a criminal to come up with nefarious uses for this info. Health insurance companies could raise your rates if they see you parked near McDonalds. Retail chains could use the data about your traveling habits to enhance their habit tracking of you. etc etc etc
- ewoodrich 11y agoIn the United States, health insurance companies couldn't raise your rates for the situation you describe -- the ACA mandates community rating with exceptions only for tobacco use and age. It would be straightforward to demonstrate that your rates had been increased compared with others in a similar bracket within your area. This would have significant legal repercussions for the insurer that they would be incentivized to avoid.

If you have someone's license plate you can get their registered address through online services (I've used docusearch). We're all driving around like jerks with our addresses printed on the back of our cars. It's really silly.
