Probably that the records are preserved in some way that they can't be redacted or removed later.

What records? I don't understand what this is supposed to describe. Just writing every plate number some device has seen to the append-only DB? Is that it? What's value in that?

I think the value would be with recording a location and time with the plate number, not just that a plate exists.
