Digital license plates sold by Reviver, already legal to buy in some states and drive with nationwide, can be hacked by their owners to evade traffic regulations or even law enforcement surveillance.

Anything that makes evading law enforcement surveillance is good in my book. Personally, if you’re going to hack them in order to avoid traffic issues, please use the license plates of police officers instead so that they have to investigate themselves. Please don’t use like little old ladies or something. That would be mean.

That would make you incredibly conspicuous. Instead, using it on the family of police officers. All the fun of robbing an old woman but with in a clean, anti-authoritarian aftertaste.
Perfect!
That’s not surveillance… having a license plate on a motor vehicle has NOTHING to do with surveillance.
No, but the proliferation of automated license plate readers and location tracking through them is definitely surveillance. And therefore, if changing your license plate number trivially can make that damn near impossible, I’m all for it.
They do the same for my guns too. Completely agree. It should be easier to buy guns without any tracking and we should file off the serial numbers. /s
You’re driving a car. It’s a giant rolling machine that people need to identify. It’s not a right. My car makes 600hp and launches like crazy, and hits 180. Should I also cover my license plate numbers so I can drive everywhere going 180? I mean, I don’t care, but I’m sure others do. Also, I LOVE going fast…
Be angry about that on your phone, in your adverts, and in other areas. Things that have capacity to kill people should be heavily monitored and cared for.
While I don’t disagree, whether or not something should be tracked has jack all to do with whether or not tracking it is surveillance.
Also, maybe don’t just jump to the conclusion that someone is championing the idea that they should be allowed to be a raging shithead. You really went off on a tirade about a whole bunch of shit they weren’t even implying.
They’re either intelligent enough to recognize that somethings are tracked for a reason, or they’re dumb enough to believe that people should be trusted to make intelligent decisions while driving on roads we all pay for. The same as with guns and cars. Both are deadly and so are somewhat comparable in this situation.
Also, they were absolutely championing the idea of being a shithead since they advocated for running red lights but having a license that is a police officers. You’re still guilty of the act.
Guns are used to shoot. Cars are used to drive around.
I couldn’t possibly care less if the government knew exactly where and when people shoot what guns. I care that the government tracks where anyone is going at all times (because cars are required to exist in a lot of the world). The reason the government might track guns is to tell where they’re going and to ideally curb sales to criminals, whereas the reason the government might (does) track cars is straight up surveillance.
You’re right, we should actually file our serial numbers off of our guns, and we should also 3D print them so that they have no serial numbers to begin with.
