I don’t know what the statistics are for stolen license plates but it seems to me, here in the San Francisco Bay Area anyway, that whenever there’s a recorded incident of a robbery or assault where the perpetrators used a getaway car, in all likelihood they put stolen plates on the car. Here’s an example of a gang who prowled around with impunity, comfortable that their cars could not be traced because they would just put stolen plates. https://sfist.com/2021/12/15/six-bay-area-men-arrested-for-a-staggering-alleged-70-attacks-on-asian-women/ https://sfist.com/2021/12/15/six-bay-area-men-arrested-for-a... Technology like Clearview could find a use case not just for facial recognition but vehicle recognition with validation to the license plate. We have many checkpoints and toll junctions where it can be installed and just run these exception checks. At the very least it would establish statistics on these gangs that are committing crimes with impunity. Vehicle recognition would be much easier than facial recognition.
