What happens to everyone when the plates and faces are recorded or scanned? Who is looking at those every day?

Nobody looks at them. It’s 2026.

In the U.S., municipal vehicles have ALPR scanners on them. They go into a database

Cop cars will ping if a flagged plate is seen (even if the front and back plates don’t match) and the officer will pull you over. Literally happens every day.
