I was just talking to a coworker about this.

Imo it should be illegal, but what ever I guess haha

Massively gathered warrantless spying on the genpop should be illegal ...when it comes to tracking car license plates? I mean, compared to facial recognition and cell phone tracking, it seems quaint.
