I'm split on this. On one hand, I don't want to be tracked, but know I am anyways. On the other hand, bringing awareness to these problems is important.
One reason companies get away with horrible invasions or privacy is they limit those privileged to access it. Opening up a system to show how invasive it is could be a good thing. Big tech has become the juggernaut it is by operating in the shadows as much as possible.

That's actually something I've noticed working on this project. Some people have have never heard of dash-cams, let alone ones with ALPR capabilities. People who are uncomfortable with that idea are usually pretty shocked when I explain to them what the little cameras all over their neighborhoods are for.
It feels like a bit of an uphill battle trying to eliminate state-sponsored ALPR, so my hope is that providing a less invasive alternative might be beneficial. It's certainly a tough balance.
