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.

D. They do not fucking cost 3k. They do not cost more than 40 bucks for flock. They're cheap and extremely destructible. The city pays 3k, you pay 3k, you pay more than that with your freedom and privacy.
If your city is so intent on fucking that up, bankrupt them. Make them pay the 3k per unit as many times as you can. Use the deflock map, they're always pointing toward the road(s), go behind and cut them down. Or use a long distance spray paint nozzle, high powered laser, weaponized meth head or whatever.
Who cares what they cost, they will cost you your life if you wait long enough.
