I knew that Government police agencies were tracking license plates. But I didn't realize there were so many private businesses doing the same thing.
Use of license plate photo databases is raising privacy concerns - Los Angeles Times:
Again, I think that these database collections are a valuable tool for police and businesses. I also don't think this sort of data collection necessarily violates our Bill of Rights. Our founding fathers pretty much knew where everyone was in their community, and recognized everyone on sight, or by the horse they rode.
However there should be some sort of registration to maintain such a data base, requiring a license, inspection, and controls on them to protect everyone.
