You can technically pay money to find out info on this. Donut on YouTube did a video on it. They were able to get photos from CCTV cameras the car drove through. Could help a stalked a lot.

Bigger reason is fraud. If you have a white Honda civic, you could go on Facebook Marketplace and look for other white Honda civics of your year. All it takes is one match and if you get a fake plate of what’s on that car and put in on yours, you now have a lot of stuff you case along to the other owner.

Tolls by plate? Now to the other guy. Committing a crime and they got your plate? Won’t know it was you. This actually happened to my dad. Thankfully the car hadn’t been registered to my dad in like 5 years but he had a toll sent to him.
