I'm assuming the data collected would be small - a few bytes for tag number, time and GPS coordinate. Easy to store and search. In my community, it is hard to drive for any distance without passing a police car. The police could build a database of daily vehicle activity with these things. So if you get on the government's naughty list, they can not only follow you from that point forward, but they can go back through their databanks and re-create your past driving activities.
