Los Angeles City Council member Nury Martinez introduced a measure which would use license plate reader to assault domestic tranquillity in the city. The proposal advanced by Martinez would use license plate readers to identify cars travelling through areas "known" to have thriving street prostitution industries and then send letters to the vehicle's registered owners saying roughly:

We saw your car in a area alleged to have a thriving prostitution scene.

Nury Martinez has offered no information on how much she expects spouses opening such letters to increase the incidence of domestic violence in Los Angeles.
