Not really. Where are these exceptions above you mention defined in the law?

  As one example, you are not legally allowed to record a conversation to which you are not a party, and in some states, you need all participants' consent.

    But driving down the street and having your unique identifier on the back of your captured via camera isn't against the law.

      Perhaps not yet, but it should be illegal to collect and record license plate data en masse. Traffic monitoring for DOT optimization purposes can be done without uniquely identifying vehicles. Individual license plates can be compared against a wanted and stolen list without storing them. Witnesses of a crime can write down individual license plate numbers. But wide-scale recording of innocent individuals' historical movements via license plate numbers (and, for that matter, cell phone towers) ought to be illegal the same way wiretapping is illegal.

        You keep saying "should" and "should not" but you're not explaining why.
