alt Hacker NewsYes, only the unaccountable extra-judicial, legally immune low education, high domestic violence/divorce “law enforcement officers” should have access. It’s not like they would use it to stalk and surveil people … likes they have been caught doing all over and then get away with performative slaps on the wrist and get hired in the next jurisdiction down.

K. And cops also have guns, tear gas, the right to pull people over, arrest them, etc. etc. If they cannot be trusted with a licence plate database, then they can't really be trusted with those either.
Are you advocating to just abolish police so that whoever is willing to use the most force can be in charge of everything? Like Mexico, but with less policing!
Or to just remove all their weapons and legal powers so that they can just ask people to 'please stop doing crime'?
Or just that we should only allow high-IQ college graduates to be cops? It sure doesn't seem like there are enough of those interested in that line of work. As it is, it already pays well, and yet I can hardly think of anyone I know who has even considered being a cop.
I'm not trying to be obtuse here, but just asserting "police bad" doesn't seem like it even comes close to trying to solve any problems.
(Before you ask me why i'm such a bootlicker, I'd just like to point out that the cops are the only reason we don't all have delicious cartel boots (or their bullets) in our mouths already.)
I know several police officers and none of them fit this description. I'm sure there are officers that do; I have Youtube too. But this is a pretty gross way to refer to about 1,000,000 people doing an extraordinarily difficult job.
