'No one gets access' has never been an option, though. It was impossible once ALPR/ANPR, or even the base technologies - OCR, large databases, and networking - were developed.

The no one gets access option requires that there be no collection in the first place. The technology used to access it doesn't matter that much.

How do you propose actually preventing the collection, particularly that by private citizens?

Note, I'm explicitly not talking about making it illegal or other feel-good measures. I'm talking about actually preventing the actions.
