The government knows where you live and where you go pretty much all the time when you're in a car. That includes your lifted pickup truck and your minivan covered top to bottom with words.
All yous conspiracy nuts out there, let's advocate for better bike and passenger train infrastructure and walkable cities, to make it harder for governments to know where you are and track what you do, thanks.
I highly doubt the government knows where I go:
That said, I totality agree with your assessment. We need better pedestrian, cycling, and mass transit infrastructure. The problem is that pretty much nobody campaigns on that. Rs campaign on fiscal issues, Ds campaign on "culture" issues, and neither deliver on their promises anyway. I want more trains and more pedestrian/cycling infra, but neither party seems to care...
License plate readers are not covered by those two bans. Trust me, they are everywhere in the states, and the technology/software to set them up is so easy, that a private citizen who was bored was able to build one. The various governments have much nicer setups.
Do you have evidence of how prevalent these are in his state?
