Rather than worry about this little tracking peculiarity, my mind wanders to a future where the govt is smart/capable/evil enough to be connecting all the cameras in buildings, cars, etc. into one place that constantly monitors for license plates and is able to tell:
-- anyone who has been driving around with a car registered in another state but hasn't relocated it to that state within a month (avoiding taxes -- CA I'm looking at you)
-- backtracking where someone who committed a crime came from, and has gone
-- etc.
Maybe somewhere this is already being done.
- ChuckNorris89 3y agoI think this is already the norm in Israel. Your every move is monitored on CCTV.

- avidiax 3y agoThis is a thing already. Planes flying in circles above major US cities with dozens of cameras recording time lapses. The geolocation warrants being served against Google are also pretty similar.

- readthenotes1 3y agoI did, and I am pretty sure that's what I typed in. However Auto correct succeeds just enough that I don't proofread what it's done to me often enough: (
