Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car’s location, date, and time. They also capture your car’s make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points. These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles—regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. While these systems can be useful for tracking stolen cars or wanted individuals, they are mostly used to track the movements of innocent people.

Not to split hairs, but you have no right to privacy in public spaces.

the legal argument you’re thinking of is reasonable expectation of privacy in public.
you still have the right, but you’re giving up some of that by going in public.
e.g. someone can take a picture in public that includes you and you couldn’t have expected to be invisible in public.
You absolutely have the right and reasonable expectation to not have your every move tracked and logged into a database.
we have anti-stalker laws for things similar to that…
