The issue is these things aren't just scanning plates. The vehicle unique identifiers (bumper stickers, roof racks, that ding you never got fixed), any bluetooth/WiFi/radio emission(some models), vehicle occupants, and even audio, are all captured and stored.
Hiding your plate is not stopping most of that.
