That group has been pushing for that for decades now and have failed.

IIRC its illegal in CT to random scan plates and check registration because its a secondary infraction.

Other states have issues with these problems but we haven't and still don't.

And yet police departments do it all the time. Many towns use their ALPRs to do this very thing. Those systems are like $15k, so they need revenue to cover the purchase price.
