Plecker is all the more scary because he was the governmental face of institutionalized Jim Crow racism. What a gang of idiots did outside of "guvmint" mattered one whale of a lot less than what one nasty little bugger did inside it. After all, when you take him on, you take on the might majesty power and dominion of the "guvmint" and that is not a small undertaking. That's why he's the head in that branch of the demonic pantheon. Abuses like that are why Americans today are less than willing to be in databases. After all, Adolf started the same way with his Jew Hunters, combing the records and look where that ended up.
