This article presents the worst case for license plate readers. People were worried about cameras too once they went up but that has since abated.
I've often wondered in a city like Detroit you have certain neighborhoods with high crime. Take a neighborhood that is starting to decline. Put Ring doorbells on the front and rear. Why on the rear? Detroit houses have alleys which are rarely used and are frequently used by burglars. Then add a few license plate readers and see if it brings down crime. That is an experiment that I would like to see run.
