I always joked with my (at the time 90+ yr old) father he better be careful if he slipped out at 12AM for nefarious reasons. The log was available to the registered owner of the vehicle and the police with a warrant. Oh, they had the window sticker (without the computer database) back in the late 1980's and the new system around 2016 IIRC. Here in 2021 we're still waving our arms out the windows. While not a big deal by any means I think TPTB could afford some "luxury convenience" upgrades for the homeowners here.
Only a bar code is easy to copy. Just walk up to anyone's car and use you phone to take a pic and use a printer to make your own sticker using that persons access, not secure at all.
