You Are Being Tracked: How License Plate Readers Are Being Used to Record Americans' Movements

The headline here is pretty misleading.
There's a real issue about "You" when the data is being stored for years.
At least the "red-light cameras" that give you a $300 "ticket-by-mail" have a photo of the offending driver.
How many car owners can say who was driving their car on a particular highway
on any particular date at any particular time...4 or 14 or 44 years ago.
This amassing of enormous amounts of "data" is a waste of resources,
because the digital age has created one truism: garbage in - garbage out.
