And furthermore, are you aware of all the information that can be attached to a license plate such as warrants, wants for questioning, etc? Thanks to automated license plate readers, an officer can cruise an entire mall parking lot with the ALPR running every plate that it can read. Suppose that the ALPR returns a license plate alerting the officer that the registered owner has a warrant or a suspended driver's license. The officer, calls permitting, can sit on that car and wait to see who shows up and then stop and detain that person if they appear to fit the information/description on the warrant. Is that not an investigative interaction in your opinion? No reasonable suspicion necessary, just cruising through a mall parking lot.
