same is true when you fill up at a gas station...
You can pay with cash at a gas station.
Many smaller gas stations don't have automated license plate scanning systems to track customers. I'm not even sure if bigger gas stations do it.
It's not the gas station that is tracking you. It's the Flock cameras.

So I guess we don't have to worry about privacy in cars. Since everyone is tracked anyway being tracked by your car doesn't change anything.
