    If the government had a right to that data they wouldn’t need to pay for it, they could just subpoena it. But they don’t, so instead they’re paying middle men to circumvent our rights.

      Yup. Look up tow truck companies, they track license plates with their readers and lease the data to police since police can’t track without a warrant.
