I love these kinds of sites, since they're indistinguishable from honeypots. Sure, have my license plate and the information that I'm worried about being watched.

With no other identifying info, though, what can they do with a license plate number in isolation?
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.

#36Put up billboards around metros with a license plate reader that queries this database with each passing car and announce "White Tesla Model Y XYZ-1234 You've been focked for: Inv" What a sick society we live in.
This unfortunately wouldn't work quite as well in states where cars arent required to have a front facing license plate (like florida)

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.

No, Workers free tier is 100,000 requests/day. Considering the error is on the main page, each visit is probably taking a minimum of 10+ requests, so it can easily be overwhelmed.
