The gov will have that database though and it's a simple query to get all the displayed IDs and then search them in Flock's database. It makes it slightly harder for Flock to do things of it's own accord but that's not the problem here.

Gov will always have access if they really want to, but my suggestion above prevents Flock and private companies from connecting vehicle location data to vehicle owner.
So you audit the database and the access. Just because it exists doesn’t mean it has be available.
