I was watching something the other day where they were testing some new plates that had RFID tags behind the real tag that were tamper proof and transmitted the VIN and the plate number. That matched with ANPR telling them if the RFID tag matches the plate on the car could be coming in shortly soon anyways
It's kind of funny seeing all the comments here when that was what was what was happening in the UK a year or two ago. But now hardly anyone even cares. In the UK they can only keep the tracking data for 5 years because of the data protection act and as far as I am aware there has been no ethically questionable use of it to date. Only lots of people who would otherwise have got away with crimes caught instead
