How hard would it be to create community-run license plate capture systems, not unlike those you see police use to capture license plates?

The camera would have to be on private property, or someone would have to hold the camera/take shifts on a public street corner in accordance with loitering laws. Even then, they will harass and intimidate you for standing there with a camera.
Well, that's two problems. First, can we build the tech infrastructure to capture license plates? Second, what are the regulatory hurdles?
To address the location issues you raised, putting a camera in your car and parking it on the street should work.
