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.

Jason Rohrer, one of the first people to have a game in MOMA, was sued by his neighbours because his lawn grass was too tall. He shown up in court with a thick slab of printouts demonstrating that cut grass emitted handful chemicals, and the court ruled that the mowing ordinance was enforced on him "in a manner that violates the free speech, equal protection, and due process clauses of the United States and New York constitutions.". So he proceeded to walk on his lawn barefoot, and his children to run there naked.
Fuck your fascist HOA.
