> What EU countries start to do is sharing the license plates files between countries.
Just wanted to add that this license plate integration is going at full speed. My brother is a truck driver who carries stuff to Western Europe once every 2-3 weeks or so (we live in Romania). About a month ago he received a speeding ticket from the French authorities, translated in Romanian and with a photo of his face as he was driving the truck.
The interesting thing was that the fine was sent to his home/personal address, even though the truck is owned by my brother's employer, not by my brother directly. So on top of making the license plate/owner connection, it seems that for stuff like trucks some traffic authorities also have information about the private details of the drivers operating those trucks.
