    Idk how I feel about this, but at the same time I don’t know how bad it really is if they’re being malicious, because I have trouble imagining what harm could be done by knowing nothing more than a license plate number

      It can be used to track where you’re going, 2hen, how fast, people in the car, etc. They also can watch pedestrians, all without a warrant.

        No, I mean, what good would it do this site, as theoretical data harvesters, if I put in my license plate number abcd123.

        “oh, someone has a car with license plate abcd123”

        I wasn’t talking about Flock. I was talking about this site as a potential security threat.
