The computer vision cat is too far out of the bag. I don’t know how you can feasibly legislate that people can’t own a camera and send its output to OpenCV. Police already read plates with their eyes and can record those observations. The state of mass surveillance is so much worse than road cameras. This feels like a waste of everyone’s time.

I have to guess that the folks clamoring to put computer vision "back in the bag" are somewhere on the margins, and resemble straw more than steel.
