This woman is cruising public parking lots with a plate scanner. I get that lenders want to recover cars, but this is the difference between fishing with a lure and fishing with a cast net. I’m fine with recovery specialists going after a specific car, but casting a wide bet in hopes of finding a car that’s on someone’s list for recovery is just kinda crappy.
So, random troll, here’s your license plate for the world to see.

Not sure why this is crappy? I get not giving people a bad day, it sucks.
But s omeone is out regarding that car that is marked for recovery right? The person driving that car isn’t doing it in good faith.

People have to work, man. The hardest part of asset recovery is finding the asset.

I’m fine with that as long as the data isn’t logged, stored and then sold.

I don’t see anything wrong with it. I don’t like the predatory lending that leads to a lot of repossessions, but if you don’t pay your car loan, you can expect to lose it.
Setting that aside, it’s actually worse than you think. They aren’t just looking for hits, they are recording every plate so that if someone defaults on a loan if the future, they have an idea where that car hangs out.

Yeah, I’m aware of the data logging. Right now there are private databases which hold an inordinate amount of information about our private lives. Combine them with public camera data and then marketing data, then we have the end of privacy, not just in our virtual, but also our “real world” lives. Welcome to distopia.

I have a problem with the wide sweep tactics. Not only is the asset being tracked, but all of the other innocent people who happened to park there.

It is logged, stored, and sold. Every plate on the lot and on the street and they happen to pass on the highway and parked in private driveways and ....

The company isn’t searching for a single car. They are tracking the location of every car they cross paths with in the hopes of finding a car that is up for repossession, either now or in the future. That’s BS.

How you you know the info is being stored and sold?
Not sure how this differs from law enforcement looking for hits on stolen cars, unregistered, etc.
I get the privacy thing, but n ot really a problem unless you plan on stopping payments on your car, and continuing to drive it in the same locations you frequented when you were making your payments.

There was a beat-up Ford Fusion with a South Carolina plate that did this in my school parking lot. It had those cameras in the rear windows. I don’t live in South Carolina, so I don’t think it was parking enforcement.

It is a problem because if someone decides you are a person of interest for any reason, these databases can be used to track your movements. Case law has already determined that a warrant is required to place a GPS tracker on your car. This is a form of tracking without a warrant and without judicial oversight. Although it hasn’t been tested yet in a court of law , I believe this is a violation of your rights.

Why is it BS is what I’m asking? The car is up for repossession because the owner hasn’t been paying his bill. To who isn’t he paying, you think they don’t deserve to get their money?
I’m trying to see how repossession of cars from people stiffing their lien holders is BS?

Agreed, would be an issue if they were selling GPS data to anyone who asked (i.e. a website where you could put a plate number in and get location data for $100).

Just don’t do anything wrong and you won’t have to worry about people tracking you. [jackoff motion]

It’s not the repossession of the car that I’m pissed about. It’s the methods they are using. They are collecting the location of EVERY plate they can see, gathering into a database and selling it to whomever asks. The side gig is picking up the cars that are under alert for repossession.
