Its not quite the same ball game. Sure its not great that the government can track easily with ALPRs, but this type of tracking is available to nearly anyone and could be used for significant crimes like stalking or human trafficking. It can also be done without a sightline of the car, unlike a camera system.
Yeah, it should be fixed, but still.... Of all possible evil ways to track, this is one of the lesser ones.
