Thanks for pointing that out. This does take matters to a different level because someone will surely hack such a nifty DB of license plates, times and locations (if they haven't already).

But even so, there's a legitimate policy debate to be had about the value of such a DB vis a vis its riskiness to individual privacy. Unfortunately, that's the difficult world we live in. Medical records have been hacked. Voter records have been hacked. And yet, somehow, societies have continued to compile and update them.
