Instead of making a whole new software why not just add number plate cameras to the osm database and make a software that pulls them out and makes it convenient to read?

It's built off of OSM. Which is how it should be.

They have no attribution in the mobile UI.

Because that could easily make OSM banned in most countries?

Yeah it would be bad if that happened. Governments really hate privacy.

It's not just about privacy. In this case it's also about law evasion and possible hiding assistance.

Not really you can just download the osm world file and start your own instance.

Still the governments are so crazy now it can trigger them.
