- nitrogen 13y agoPerhaps 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.
