I don't know that the Founding Fathers had thought through the implications of license plate readers, though...
Matt Brown of Brown Fine Security made a series of YouTube videos showing vulnerabilities in a Motorola Reaper HD ALPR that he bought on eBay. As we have reported previously, these ALPRs are deployed all over the United States by cities and police departments. Brown initially found that it is possible to view the video and data that these cameras are collecting if you join the private networks that they are operating on. But then he found that many of them are misconfigured to stream to the open internet rather than a private network.ALPR being "Automated License Plate Reader", of course. These cameras are common enough tech that you can buy a variety of them on Amazon.
You may recall the fun I had with a botched license plate read back in the early days of this blog if you've been around long enough.
