No need. Computers can just as easily read the numbers as well (better - 1000 times faster) than a mere human.

I spotted a game camera tiewrapped and security cabled to a shelf in Walmart.
It was watching the sweepers/trashcans aisle.

If you think this hasn’t already been going on for more than a decade ... you’re mistaken.
There is a big difference between local cops scanning license plates for stolen vehicles and outstanding tickets (which is what cops in my area do), and all of it being assembled into a massive database with data from elsewhere to put together movement profiles on all vehicles.
Many of us saw this coming when police departments began equipping some of their cars with license plate scanners. They told us they would delete the data, and it was just to do what cops used to do manually - run the plates. But many of us knew that the feds (and others) would eventually want that data.
We just didn't expect it to happen under a Republican President - this is something that Obama or Hillary would have pushed.
