The sound is the worst part, I wish the bathroom in my office had music or something so I don't have to hear every detail of whomever is disemboweling themselves in the next stall over.
Ok, covering your plate's letters or scraping the paint off makes it impossible to read their plate to report though when those actually serious scenarios you mention happen. I have a pretty decent dash cam (high res, quality sensor, circularly polarized filter to eliminate glare) but even unintentionally damaged plates might as well not be on the car at all if the retroreflective coat is missing and it is not perfectly lit.
Considering some of the very wrong and upvoted domain specific knowledge I've seen on Reddit over the years I'm not sure the training data is going to be useful for much beyond what every other model can do.
Eleanor isn't green though =(
