In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if a liberal reading of existing laws in many US states might over this already.
People pay tax on the fuel, pay tax on the car, pay tax on the parts and servicing, yet you want the state to be able to identify the vehicles?
How many deaths and injuries do the vehicles cause in comparison to other deaths and injuries? Take the NRA and shooter deaths and injuries, or even knife crime, those people dont have to walk around with identification tattoos, and anyone can get a uniform to impersonate people of authority.
The state employees, namely the Police give you all the privacy you can afford, you wont find this online, but I've been reliably told, that the 13/14yr old son of this bloke [1], took one of the family limousines and crashed it in Kent, UK. When the Police attending the RTA realised who he was, the UK Police gave him an hour or two to clear up the mess or face being arrested. Naturally someone this rich can pull strings, so the mess was cleared up and now nothing exists online.
I dont think most people realise how life is crime free for the rich who donate to charitable causes and employ large numbers of people!
So why do we need our privacy stolen especially considering mobile phones can triangulate and locate people under the guise of cell tower traffic management and most cars now have trackers built into them to remote shut them down called telematics, also used to monitor the driving of the insured and car manufacturers[2] are proposing vehicles that can even reposses themselves.
You can learn alot from this [3] if Hollywood isnt trolling the poor whilst virtual signalling for profits!
Now watch how quickly this discussion gets pushed down onto subsequent pages of HN to protect the Rich! Position 11 @ 10:38 UTC 20230228.

We could also just stop non consensual surveillance of everyone and everything. I prefer that option.
What I'd be really interested in is an anti-surveillance device that utterly dazzles cameras so as to make it impossible to track camera to camera who you are / where you're going. Combine that with the occasional costume change and you've become extremely difficult to track.

For example: There are, in fact, known risks to near-infrared radiation exposure. Erythema ab igne, for example, is a disorder characterized by a patchy discoloration of the skin and other clinical symptoms. It is caused by prolonged exposure to hearth fires, and it is an occupational hazard of glass blowers and bakers exposed to furnaces and hot ovens (e.g., Tsai and Hamblin 2017). It is not a risk to the general population, however, in that the irradiance is usually many times that of solar near-infrared irradiance.
There's just as much evidence for my argument as for yours. I'm really sick of people going 'heh, gait analysis' in place of an argument. It doesn't work under many conditions, and the science behind it is not exactly rock solid.
We sadly live in an age where we must be careful what we put out there.
I hereby detract my criticism.
