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.

Police already arrest the wrong people, even when they have the name and address for a warrant. Even when the person doesn't match the picture they are given, police lock 'em up anyway.

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter how accurate stuff like this is; it'll just be another tool assholes, not just the police, use to justify being mean to people they don't like.
