This is exactly what highway toll systems and ALPR enforcement already do.
But even on the public side: yes, this would be entirely appropriate. It's not clear what the alternative would even be; what would it look like to have civilian evidence in e.g. traffic accidents if people weren't allowed to take pictures of others' cars?
- EarlKing 4y ago1. Highway toll systems aren't random people on Twitter. 2. In such a case you have a need to know that supersedes one's right of privacy. Are you saying you have a need to know where Elon Musk is at all times?
- woodruffw 4y agoElon Musk is the antithesis of a "random person on Twitter." He's the CEO, and one of the richest men on Earth to boot. I don't have any particular need (or interest) in knowing where Elon Musk is. I also don't know where he is at all times with the information in this flight tracker: I only know the parts that are already necessarily public. Law is fundamentally casuistical in nature: there are standards that apply to John Q. Publics (like you and me), and there are other standards that apply to the Barbara Streisands (and Elon Musks) of the world.
