The EFF and ACLU won a court ruling against the California thugs that wanted to keep their license-plate tracking data and practices completely secret from the public.

The ruling did not say that the thugs must publish the actual license plate numbers. Rather, it said they must publish enough that the public can see how much surveillance, and what kind, the thugs are doing.
