That’s an interesting point it’s on display like a billboard for any passerby to see at a given time. How this intersects with recording and tracking I guess is the contention, not just the visibility of the unit. But if someone were to sit and manually write and track the plates would they fall in the same ballpark of offense? Is it the efficiency that skews things or the long term storage or both?
- uoaei 4y agoLicense plates are considered by the courts to be publicly available information. There are cars owned by private companies that drive around and periodically photograph/detect/geotag license plates automatically with a custom-built license plate reader system. Then they sell data to e.g. private investigators.
- Jalad 4y agoLooks like you don't have privacy online, or in meatspace. I assumed this practice was less prevalent than online tracking but seems like that was just overoptimistic https://www.vice.com/en/article/ne879z/i-tracked-someone-with-license-plate-readers-drn https://www.vice.com/en/article/ne879z/i-tracked-someone-wit...
