In Switzerland it is simple to search which license plate number is registered to whom [1].
Which makes license plates as bad as faces when it comes to personally identifiable information.

- ugh 15y agoI didn’t even know that. I think that independent of that, license plates would be personal information even without a central database. There is no central database of faces yet they are still clearly personal information. License plates are similarly associated with one person (or, unlike faces, a few people).
