@gme @vfrmedia interesting- that is new info to me. Seems like that gets into dubious legal territory though because it seems that most state laws and some federal laws limit what and why you can use plate info. There are plenty of websites I see though that do offer the service, but I'm not about to give them money to test it
Regardless - there is quite a difference between having to jump through hoops and wade dubious legal landscapes, vs just having it freely published on an open database.
