You dont have a problem with this until it becomes a problem that affects you.
With privacy matters, you need to look outside your own boundaries to how this information can be misused

You do have a problem with it until there is a problem and the system is not there to solve it. Your son gets kidnapped? Awww, too bad, we prioritized not knowing when you went to Wendy’s. Ta-ta!

That genie can't go back into the bottle. License plates are public information. You're required by law to display one and people have the freedom to record license plate numbers.

You can totall cork that Genie back in.
We do this kind of stuff all the time in IT with personal information to prevent linking people to specific IDs (in this case, license plates).
It's one thing to look up a plate, it's another make that process easy to the point that you have your own personal database at your fingertips at all times.
This leads to abuse.

You can for an app or a single system, but you're not going to change the entire world which already tracks literally everything you do.

And how can it be misused?

Why do people think a link proof? Like of you're citing something sure but you're not...
If you can't give your own arguments you're not informed enough to say why.

Like the article suggests, it could be used to track people to locations they don't to be known, such as abortion clinics, especially in the wake of the incredibly moronic and repressive laws recently enacted in some states.
It could also be misused in the same way by falsefying records to make people appear where they were not or being purely convicted by association.
Say there was a drug bust in a neigborhood and someone that had a criminal record was keeping clean, ends up being recorded his car just passing through. People have gone to jail for less.

.....do you not understand what misuse would mean? Tracking people who break the law isn't fucking misusing it...god you people really think one way, using the same logic cars should be banned from law enforcement...

Fucking how??? Like wtf? That doesn't even make any sense!

Like no that's not a realistic scenario! Being near a crime ISN'T ENOUGH TO GET SOMEONE ARRESTED!
