License Plate Data Base used by Government - Privitize the Function for Profit

https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article216093470.html

Government employees are using LPR information to catch welfare cheats and that is being questioned related to government surveillance and privacy.

The way around it is for government to contract out the function like the private investigation model.  Privatize the function but pay in some way to obtain the result.  The data itself is already in a private enterprise data base that the government has access to because they pay for access.  What the government does is turn data into information.

Most people do not know the difference between data, information and knowledge.   All the government wants is to "know" something that is proven factual then act on it.  What is to be known comes from a data base.  The government's error in in going after welfare cheats is that it derives the conclusive probability information through its own investigation.

Put a bounty on private enterprise reporting probable violation of any violation of government rules, laws and regulations.  Open the door to anyone wanting to become a bounty hunter from the big guys like google all the way down to the cottage industry home level of pick and shovel data mining to discover and report information to the government for a bounty related to how much its saves the government.

That model is already established!  It gets the government off the hook of maintaining data files on everyone!
