Nobody uses the NBR .., they're basically just selling stickers. When you dig into how many LE agencies use them, it's like ... six. Maybe even less.

BikeIndex.org, though - which is mentioned in the article because that's what the batman is referencing - is totally open and has over 220+ national partners and over 70k bikes on file.

BikeIndex.org does seem to be especially prevalent on the west coast and definitely more widely used than the NBR, thanks for pointing that out.
