WTOC reported the August 7 terminations, drawing 128 points and 117 comments on HN. The thread named the pattern precisely: the technical control that catches abuse is the audit log, and it only produces consequences when someone actually reviews it. Most ALPR deployments have no review cadence. If you ship high-privilege internal tooling, this is the cheapest available argument for making access logging a first-class reviewed artifact rather than a compliance checkbox.
