I don't see how. The premise of these cameras is that anybody is allowed to film in public. All you're doing is showing something in public which is perfectly legal. It doesn't damage the camera. If they decide to use the image from their camera to enter text into a database, then that's on them if something bad happens. You have no control over what happens inside of their computer. It's no different than someone blindly copy pasting commands into their Linux terminal and deleting system 32.
As far as I'm aware cybercrime is generally: "anything done maliciously involving a computer" intentionally sticking a drop table command over your plates because you're expecting something to read your plate and input it into a db might count.
Sure, so you just get a fine for obstructing your license plate then.
Some us states don't require a front plate, or you could put it next to your rear plate or in the rear window.
