Locals have been doing it in my area for at least 5 years.
I don't have a issue with it generally. But I do have a problem with the security of the data accuired that has no purpose to them at the time.
Leaving the question... how others can benefit from the data if it were hacked.

Now I can only visualize a few small things at this point but the times are a changing.
Used in conjunction with other data at a data farm, who knows what contorted minds will profit from.

So there needs to be some explicit rules as to how long it can be saved and what it can be used for.
I say that knowing that the court generally rules that anything you do in public places 'CAN BE' public information. But this has some very interesting twists and I could be a bit more vocal on the issue, but will not at this time.

Facial recognition provokes even higher issues and it is alive and well in places you never would expect it. So you are being tracked in public places as a person, not just in a car where you can not tell who is really driving it.
Since I dabble in the tech, I may track some politicians and/or police around town to force a point at the right time.

Better get use to it as it will get much worse before anyone really realizes how much it is being used and how many unknown purposes it will have in the future.
And nobody is yelling yet and I doubt they will till they find out that it is being used widely already.
