The sort of information they could gather from a site like this would be a list of license plates that somebody is worried about being tracked. I can think of several government organizations who would love that sort of information right now.
It's a sort of Streisand effect
This site has data from the publicly shared information by Flock. I'm more than sure that any government organization already has the data. Also, your license plate is already public, meaning it's visible on your car at any time. I don't understand your fear about it being present on their database. (maybe I'm misunderstanding)
Yeah but do you think that a frontend that makes ten requests for tags, including somewhere between 3 and 6 tags in the db and between 3 and 6 tags not in the db with the actual tag the user wants to know about as well would add enough obfuscation to prevent that?
