Most of the license plate scanners are operated by private companies who have access to DMV ,police,courts,child support,bank,finance company,and NCIC databases.

These companies have no right to the personal information contained in these databases. Citizens do not have the right to access all of this information in these databases,it is a huge invasion of privacy.

The companies and their employees having access to these databases is wide open to corruption,they could use the data for many things that are in no way legal,and are in fact criminal,such as blackmail,accepting bribes from jealous ex wives and husbands,car loan companies could bribe employees for location data on cars they are looking for,-as described in the article-it’s a long,drawn out process to repo a car. Bribe an employee who has access to the data,and the guy finds the car without going through the courts,takes the car back,then sorts it out in court.

So it could allow the repo companies to skirt the law,private investigators could bribe employees of these companies to track the travels of people they are investigating,stalkers and jealous ex’s could use the data they get from the person they bribe to harrass their ex husband or wife,and on and on and on.

This is way beyond 1984,between “traffic cameras”,the NSA hoovering up every e-mail,tweet,text,and phone call you make,along with all your banking activity,internet browsing history,and tracking your location 24/7 from your “smart phone”-you have zero privacy unless you disconnect yourself from the matrix,don’t use anything but burner phones,and stay off the ‘net entirely-I’m sure the NSA can even track Tor users by now.
