I’m pretty sure he’s talking about anonymizing the data.

It's difficult to anonymize anything involving locations and times

My concern was primarily that license plate numbers are included in the data, which I used to track vehicles across multiple citations. The license plate is also included in the towing dataset as well as the escheatment data published by SFMTA which links license plates to the name of the owner.

Can you bucket the data? Anyway, someone knowledgeable should contact you
