Debt collectors thrive on collecting every scrap of information they can about debtors: where they live, where they work, their cell numbers, and so on. This LPR database could quite easily build up profiles about debtors that collectors in the past could only dream of. One immediate application is watching where a car is driven and parked in order to repo it. That's probably the most acceptable use I can think of.
It gets worse from there: think data mining for alimony and custody battles, use by private investigators in infidelity cases, locating and stalking former lovers, and so on.
