The average person thinks digital = magic! and marketers/governments, etc are well aware of that, and will abuse that fact anytime they can.

Ever had to explain to someone that “the cloud” isn’t a physical cloud in the sky keeping their passwords & nudes safe? I have way too many times.

You can slap a screen on just about anything that doesn’t need it and people will want it.

The basic law of tech. If it exists it can be hacked. Its a matter of when not if.

It doesn’t even matter if there is a benefit to doing so. It will be hacked because it exists. Simply because it is there.

I don’t even need a hacker for this. I have been getting someone’s violations for the last 3 months despite the offending car having a totally different plate, model, make and color. They still insist it’s my fault somehow.

You might consider contacting your local news, the mix ups are cleared up real quick once public shaming is involved.
