A simple, pretty much unscrapable system: App on your phone that you use to take a picture of the license. The system returns the current status.

That is far from unscrapable. Could probably be done within hours with the Android emulator.

If you had a picture of the license you could certainly scrape it--but then you're doing it legitimately anyway, no need to scrape. Without a picture of the license it's not going to return anything but an error.

And I’m sure it would be openALPR on the backend, which would gladly parse a dynamically generated “picture” of a license.
