In all the areas I road travel in I am seeing a bunch of new carwash businesses popping up. These are membership-based services that use license plate scanning technology to match your car to your plan when you go there. They are everywhere now, even in places where you would think only one location could manage enough business but there will be like three or more of them all recently built in the last year. Smallish towns loaded with subscription carwash services. Hmm...

I'm highly suspicious of anything that collects data that isn't normally available to businesses so these license plate scanners really raise my brow. It's just as bad in some retailers that are now asking for phone numbers for every transaction. When I ask them why they need my phone number, they usually say something to the effect of "so you can get credit for your purchase". What? I'm not part of your (((rewards program))) and I don't have a profile I created with your store. How am I going to get "credit" for a purchase when it doesn't relate to anything but excessive data theft? The jews really want our data to track and control our consumerism.

Anyway, these carwashes really do make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I'm not 100% sure of their data collection angles here so I'm wondering if you guys have any insight into what they are doing with it besides their cover story of making it convenient and fast. What do you think they are doing with the correlated data and who's it being sold to or shared with? Do any of you actually trust these things enough to give them you data and get your car washed?

I believe it is just for their record but never thought about this.

Thought ab getting a subscription but they did tell me when i asked if my wife and i could both use that it goes by lp#.

With a camera on every home these days shit i would be more concerned with ring that picks up anything that moves. You know amazon sells data and those cams are definitely high definition enough to grab a lp#.

I think it is a felony to run a tag if your not a gov official idk

They don't run your tags, the grift is that they sell the data to law enforcement or private data collection firms.

Some of it is super nefarious (LEOs) some of it is just merely grifter shit like ad companies wanting to know if they can target you for ads for a specific product related to your specific car.

Not true in my state, private security companies are able to run plates

It's only an issue if using (((government))) databases for the search. If you can have third parties do your data collection and correlation with their own databases, then you can do as you please. Private business has become another arm of the state that enables them to do terrible things and be totally immune to the consequences. All of our data being collected by infinite numbers of data collection systems are all being correlated and analyzed to monitor and control everything we do. It's inescapable now and most people don't even care anyway so long as they have their bread and circuses.

Agreed, been warning of this for years. Didnt realize extent a 3rd part could have though with respect to the original topic of lp#'s.
