"Cops must swear silence to access vehicle tracking system"
http://www.wired.com/2014/05/license-plate-tracking/
"It's no secret that police departments around the country are
deploying automated license plate readers to build massive databases
to identify the location of vehicles. But one company behind this
Orwellian tracking system is determined to stay out of the news. How
determined? Vigilant Solutions, founded in 2009, claims to have the
nation's largest repository of license-plate images with nearly 2
billion records stored in its National Vehicle Location Service
(NVLS). Despite the enormous implications of the database for the
public, any law enforcement agency that signs up for the service is
sworn to a vow of silence by the company's terms of service."
