so you are saying make every car same model, blackened windows, same color, no license plate.
> your car can be used for illegal purposes. that is why it has license plate, vin
License plates identify vehicles rather than individuals and when they were introduced it was infeasible to use them for mass surveillance. They're now becoming a problem and something is going to have to be done about it.
Their ostensible purpose is to identify the vehicle in case it gets stolen or is in an accident, not as a form of location tracking. But this is why "slippery slope" is not a fallacy. Not only are they now used for location tracking, they're being used as a precedent to rationalize further invasions of privacy. If they can track your car, why shouldn't they be able to track your phone? If they can track your phone, why shouldn't they be able to read your email? The answer is that they shouldn't be able to do any of these things without a warrant.
also criminals are part of warfare inside of USA:
Criminals use general purpose tools. It isn't the role of cutlery manufacturers to address muggings.
