Trafficmaster claims that they tokenize the central part of the
registration plate only, but I don't know for certain about this. Some
time ago I recall a murder trial involving a murder in Scotland where
the suspect(s) travelled up the motorways from England to Scotland and
that the police were able to obtain evidence of their vehicle movements
from Trafficmaster. I don't have any links to this, but I certainly
remember hearing about it although it was a long time ago, possibly a
decade.
