Why should we not use technology to make jobs easier? Do you expect people in a warehouse to manually type in the barcode? Or for people to manually record accounting transactions rather than using software?

The information being scanned is publicly visible, and voluntarily submitted into a government database, for the purposes of being able to hold someone accountable when they commit a crime with their vehicle. Unless you think it’s impossible to break the law with your vehicle, I really don’t see why making it easier for the police to locate those breaking the law is a bad thing. Sure there are frivolous cases of pulling people over to harass them, but cops don’t need an AI for that.
