I had a libertarian tell me once that we shouldn’t have drivers licenses because its against freedom. He said people Iran are more free in this aspect, because “they can just hop in a car and drive at age 13”, which I doubt is even true.
They already do this via license plate readers, both on police vehicles, utility poles, as well as the ones that are used for EZpass/bill by plate toll roads.
Dont these kind of people realize it would be (just as) easy to control and survey everyone’s movements if they drove in cars?
