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'd rather live in a tent.
No matter how "good" HOA may seem... It will go to shit and and you will get fucked. It's not if, it is when.
You may get lucky for a few years, but eventually like Russian roulette, you will lose big.
You absolutely would not rather live in a tent. Living in a tent really sucks.
I just spent a weekend camping in a tent, and it would suck. And absolutely would I rather live in a tent. Then throw my lives savings away in a HOA scam...
Well, you're gonna get arrested and they're going to steal your tent. Not in that order though. Have fun I guess.
Thafuq? You're assuming a lot abt them here, and all from a single comment?
Also, FWIW, that is not the only outcome. As someone who's spent a couple years houseless, I can attest that those areas most frequented by drug traffic or nearest rich neighborhoods/commerce centers are the ones the police are paid to harass.
