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.

Yes, it is truly tragic how flock cameras have perverted the goodwill and community stewardship of the police. /s

I am not sure why my comment deserved being shit on like that. As if I've praised them otherwise? This step they are taking is magnifying the "bastards" moniker and for sure in an exponentially shitty way.

This is the definition of both unnecessary and pointlessly provocative
