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.

I’m surprised the HOA didn’t turn them off in the first place

ETA: I meant that he HAO existing didn’t turn off the buyer

Are you kidding me? HOA's love anything to do with spying and snooping. They are run as the quintessential mini fascist fiefdoms.

I think they meant turn off the potential buyer, not turn off the camera.

HOA loves spying, HOA are essentially mini- totalitarian/dictatorship govts
