Most people park at their home and many drive to work. If you have both of those data points, you can identify people.

That's not very useful?

For homeowners, the real estate transactions are public and majority of white collar people have LinkedIn accounts.

You're starting with the plate, getting the home, and then you can get the real estate info.

Most people don't expect their identity to be discoverable from their driving.

Wait really? I feel like this was happening in the 90s. Now every car has a full gps spy system integrated to the point I barely trust that my conversation is private in a modern vehicle. But I guess if you think it's just your car company, Android, Apple, roadside assistance, the local police, and probably the music you're playing that can pin your location you're probably ok.

The fact that you are linked in, as in a chain, sure does not help with dispelling my impression.
