There's a pretty high correlation between where a vehicle is and where the people that own/operate that vehicle regularly are as well. And I think you'd be surprised at how well that data can be used to derive a lot of very personal information about you. Where you work. Where you shop. What activities you participate in. Etc.
For the Rogers comment, that's certainly true. But its something you opt-in to. And you can opt-out of as well.
Storing violating data seems reasonable. Loss of rights is one of the reasonable consequences of doing something wrong. And storing non-violating data locally for a shift also seems entirely reasonable to me.
And I 100% disagree with statements like "If someone is so concerned about Big Brother knowing where their car is parked, then don't park using a city owned space [Lot or on-street], or if you are doing something illegal or unethical and need to hide your location, hire a cab/Uber.".
